Braga beats Beira Mar 2-1 in Portugal

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Braga rallied to beat Beira Mar 2-1 and move past Sporting into third place in the Portuguese league Saturday.

Leandro Martins' header put Beira Mar ahead in the 40th, but an own goal by the hosts' Jaime Melao leveled the score in the 68th.

Two minutes later, substitute Albert Meyong capped the comeback after having come on just five minutes before.

Braga is two points in front of Sporting ahead of its game at Guimaraes on Sunday.

Also Saturday, Academica edged Portimonense 1-0, while Maritimo beat Leiria 3-1 Friday.

FC Porto can clinch the league title if it beats second-place Benfica on Sunday, when Rio Ave hosts Setubal and last-place Naval is at Olhanense.
