Andre Silva Is a Striker Reborn as the King of Seville After Misery at AC Milan

Seville, Spain — Football sometimes can be a beautiful thing. In the 2016 final of the Taca de Portugal—the country's cup competition, which has been contested in various guises for almost a century—Braga took a 2-0 lead. Andre Silva, Porto's 20-year-old striker, nicked one back on 61 minutes.

As the clock ticked past the 90-minute mark, Porto, who had been laying siege to Braga's goal, swung in a corner. Porto's goalkeeper threw his body at the corner kick, but one of Braga's defenders cleared it from under his nose. The ball flew to the edge of the box.
