Which Sporting Braga player made the most tackles?

João Moutinho, with 7 tackles. Next: Víctor Gómez 3, Francisco Edgar Chissumba Rodrigues 3.

João Moutinho anchored Sporting Braga's midfield with 7 tackles, more than twice as many as any teammate. His defensive work rate proved vital to protecting the 1–0 victory over Porto.

How is the rating calculated?

The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season.
