Jerdy Schouten had put PSV ahead in the 15th minute, drilli🌄ng in a stunning long-range effort.
Yet Schouten's finish was matched by that of Braganca who, in the 83rd minute, expertℱly guided a first-time flick into the roof of the net.
Braganca has now come on as a su♊bstitute and been directly involved in a goal in each of Sporting's Champions League games this season.
Sporting, wh🔯o beat Lille 2-0 in Lisbon, are on four points from two games while PSV have one point after they were defeated 3-1 at Juventus on the opening matchday.
Data Debrief: PSV pay the price
PSV are unbeaten in each of their last f𓃲ive home games in the Champions League (W1 D4). It is their longest run without a homeᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ defeat in the competition since December 2005 (a run of 11 games).
However, t🔯hey will feel they did enough to deserve the victory, 🐈with their expected goals (xG) figure of 2.01 suggesting they were unfortunate not to score a second, albeit Sporting's 1.3 xG show they, too, at least warranted one goal.
That being said, Sporting did not have a shot on target until the 82nd minute, but PSV's soft underbelly was again exposed - they have kept only one clean sheet in their 𒈔last 16 Champions League games.
