Then, on Wednesday, he was was finally given his first start in the encounter against UD Oliveirense.
Zidnaba Djibril opened scoring in the 42th minute for Braga, but Khalidou Yero restored parity for the visitors just before the break.
Then Yero made it 2-1 to Oliveirense with just a minute played in the second half. But within four minutes, it was all square again with Welthon getting on the scoresheet.
Then, Osuchukwu got in on the act to give the hosts their second lead of the day, buy Ely again turned the game on its head just three minutes with yet another equaliser.
But Braga will have the final say, as Diogo Ribeiro scored what proved to be the winner on 84 minutes.
