Player Ratings Brondby 2-4 Braga | Andre Horta shines in the Europa League
Portuguese outfit Braga took a massive step towards the Europa League play-off round as they beat Brondby 4-2 away from home in the first leg of their tie. The result was one of two 4-2 losses on the evening for Danish sides at home, with Midtjylland also losing by the same scoreline to Steven Gerrard’s Rangers.
