Maritimo downs Braga 4-1 in Portuguese league
Marcio Mossoro scored two second-half goals Saturday to help Maritimo rally to a 4-1 win over Braga in the Portuguese league.
Cesar Peixoto scored first for Braga with a penalty kick on the stroke of halftime, only for Marcinho and Joao Luiz to also add goals for Maritimo after halftime.
Peixoto was sent off in the closing stages for elbowing Joao Luiz as they contested a high ball.
Maritimo's win lifted it into sixth place with 40 points and boosted the Madeira-based team's hopes of playing in next season's UEFA Cup. Braga stayed eighth with 34.
