Braga beats Nacional 3-1 to keep pace in Portugal

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Braga came from behind to win 3-1 at Nacional for its 10th straight victory in the Portuguese league on Saturday.

The win lifted the third-placed Braga even with Benfica and three points behind leader FC Porto.

Nacional went ahead through Joao "Moreno" da Cunha's 12th-minute opener, but striker Lima sparked Braga's rally with his league-leading 16th goal of the season in the 40th.

Mossoro netted the winner in the 54th before Andre "Ukra" Alves added a third goal three minutes from the finish.

Also, Setubal upset forth-place Sporting Lisbon 1-0.
