Portuguese veteran Nuno Gomes hit the winner as Sporting Braga came from behind to defeat Maritimo on Monday.
Christian Pouga gave hosts Maritimo a shock lead in the 31st minute at Estadio dos Barreiros.
Braga found a response after the interval when Custodio netted his first goal of the season.
That was followed by the dismissal of Maritmo defender Robson for a straight red card in the 64th minute.
Braga quickly capitalised, Gomes striking the winner in the 75th minute to steer his side to a sixth consecutive league win.
Leonardo Jardim's men remain in third place, eight points adrift of leaders Benfica, while Maritimo stay fifth.
