Gil Vicente host Sporting Braga at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos on Sunday in the Primeira Liga. The hosts are ninth with four points after three games this season.

Summer signing Gabriel Martinez opened the scoring in the first half before Rodrigo Zalazar netted a second-half brace to seal the three points.
The visitors are third in the league table with seven points from three games. They are two points behind leaders Sporting and could leapfrog them with a win.
