BRAGA, Portugal (Interstat) — Substitute Cucho Hernández scored a late equalizer to salvage a 1-1 draw for Real Betis Balompié against SC Braga in Europa League group stage play Wednesday.

Florian Grillitsch gave the hosts an early lead in the fifth minute at Estádio Municipal de Braga. Braga controlled much of the match and appeared poised to validate pregame projections that heavily favored a home victory. However, Hernández found the net in the 88th minute, assisted by Marc Roca, to secure a share of the points for the Spanish side.

The result leaves both teams with identical records in the competition: zero wins, zero losses and one draw. The match was a physical affair, featuring six yellow cards.
