Braga turned up the heat on third-placed Pacos Ferreira tonight by beating Olhanense 1-0 in the Portuguese Liga.
Starting out four points behind Pacos, Jose Peseiro's men scored early through Leandro Salino and never looked back.
It was a similarly easy night's work for Guimaraes, who were 2-0 winners at home to Academica.
Tiago Rodrigues opened the scoring just four minutes in, and when El Arbi Soudani added a second 16 minutes later the game was up.
