Bragantino have quietly put together a solid domestic campaign, and they are right in the thick of a tight race for second place in the league table.

Mauricio Barbieri has guided this team to the final of the Copa Sudamericana, and they have not looked back since then, unbeaten in their previous six league games, and without a defeat in four straight home matches in all competitions.

Not only have they been able to keep pace near the top of the standings, but they have done it by earning some positive results against several strong opponents, coming back to draw Flamengo 1-1 and overwhelming Palmeiras 4-2, all in the span of a few days this month.

Throughout the year, their system has created many turnovers and given them plenty of quality scoring opportunities, and when they get a chance to score, they usually convert it, with the second-most goals in the league so far (43), behind only the defending Brasileiro champions.

Lately, many of their games have been settled very late as they scored a 95th-minute equaliser to draw Internacional earlier this week, and last weekend Braga had a two-goal lead evaporate, conceding twice in injury time to draw Ceara 2-2.

They may not be able to catch the league leaders for a little while, trailing Atletico Mineiro by 13 points, but this team are certainly within reach of equalling their best-ever domestic campaign, when they came in second in 1991, as Massa Bruta are only three points back of second at the moment.

毛里西奥·巴比里带领这支球队进入南美杯决赛，从那以后他们就没有回头过，在之前的六场联赛中保持不败，在所有比赛中主场连续四场不败。

他们不仅能够保持在积分榜的前列，而且他们还在与几个强大对手的比赛中取得了一些积极的成绩，在这个月的几天时间里，他们以1-1战平弗拉门戈，以4-2压倒帕尔梅拉斯。

在过去的一年中，他们的战术体系创造了很多失误，并给了他们很多高质量的进球机会，当他们有机会进球时，他们通常会把机会转化为进球。他们的进球数量在联赛中排名第二(43个)，仅次于卫冕冠军巴西队。

最近，他们的很多比赛都是在很晚的时候才结束的，因为他们在第95分钟的进球扳平了国际米兰的比分。上周末，布拉加两球的领先优势消失了，在伤停补时阶段两度失球，将塞阿拉逼平为2-2。

他们可能无法赶上联赛领头羊一会儿,落后于米内罗竞技13分,但是这支球队肯定是触手可及的均等'国内运动,当他们在1991年排在第二,马萨Bruta只有三分的第二。
