Primeira Liga Wrap: Quinta inspires Penafiel win

Quinta was appointed coach of the newly promoted side midweek following the departure of Ricardo Cheu, who oversaw Penafiel's poor start to the season.

Penafiel - promoted from the Segunda Liga after finishing third last term - lost their opening four matches of the campaign.

Penafiel made the most of their numerical advantage in the 73rd minute, Andre Fontes converting Dani's cross.

Vitoria Setubal's woes were compounded four minutes later as Manu received his marching orders for a second bookable offence.

Penafiel's first win of the season lifted them out of the relegation zone and into 15th, while Vitoria Setubal are just a point clear of Penafiel.

Braga were up against it from the 54th minute following Aderllan Santos' second yellow card.
