Uchendu and Machia help Sporting Braga reach Portuguese Taca de liga final

Nigeria's Chinaza Uchendu and Cameroon's Farida Machia were in superb form as Sporting Braga clinched a 3-0 victory against city rivals Sporting CP in Saturday's Portuguese Taca de liga clash.

The Super Falcons star was a second-half substitute while the Indomitable Lionesses forward made an impactful start as the visitors claimed the maximum points to clinch their final berth.

Braga came into the encounter, needing nothing short of a win over their second-placed rivals in a bid to finish in the top two spots and Vanessa Marques gave them the lead 25 minutes into the match.
