Following their penalty shootout win over Udinese on Wednesday to reach the Champions League group stage, Sporting Braga fell to a 2-0 defeat at Pacos de Ferreira.
Gil Vicente and Vitoria Setubal played out a goalless draw with neither having registered a win this season.
Meanwhile, Rio Ave could not break through in a scoreless drought at home to Academica de Coimbra.
