Game Stream
- 90'+2'That's all for tonight, goodbye!
- 90'+2'These teams will face each other in the reverse fixture after the international break. Leicester now turn their attention to the Premier League this weekend when they face Wolves at home. Meanwhile, Braga travel to Lisbon to take on Benfica in the Primeira Liga.
- 90'+2'A brilliant performance overall in a record-breaking win for Leicester. Goals from Iheanacho either side of half time, Praet and Maddison completed the rout for the Foxes. Their brilliant run of form continues as they go top of Group G and maintain their 100% record in the Europa League. Braga struggled to threaten throughout the game and were unable to take their chances when they came.
- 90'+2'FULL TIME: Leicester 4-0 Sporting Braga
- 90'Two minutes of added time to be played.
- 90'David Carmo picks up a booking for chopping down Perez as Leicester looked to counter. He'll miss the next match.
- 88'It certainly hasn't been a happy return to England for Carlos Carvalhal. His Braga side have been torn apart in this second half by a Leicester side that are on top of their game and playing brilliant football.
- 86'Leicester are cruising to three points with just under five minutes of regular time left.
- 84'Maddison wins another corner for the Foxes. You can see the Leicester players are playing full of confidence with the form they're in.
- 78'Justin and Perez work the ball well inside the Braga penalty box but Raul finally clears the danger.
- 78'GOALLL! MADDISON MAKES IT FOUR! Maddison collects the ball inside the penalty area, gets a little bit of luck go his way with a deflection and pokes the ball home to round off a brilliant performance.
- 76'Fuchs, Justin and Fofana have been excellent at the back for the Foxes tonight. Rodgers seems to have found a great platform for the rest of the team to attack and express themselves, especially in the absence of Jonny Evans.
- 75'BIG CHANCE! Barnes is slipped through by Maddison but Matheus does well to close down the shot. The flag was up for offside against Perez who seemed to have interfered with play.
- 73'It looks as though both teams know this game is over now and are happy to see the last 20 minutes out.
- 72'SUBSTITUTION: Iheanacho OFF Perez ON
- 72'SUBSTITUTION: Tielemans OFF Barnes ON
- 71'SUBSTITUTION: Galeno OFF Moura ON
- 71'SUBSTITUTION: Al Musrati OFF Castro ON
- 71'SUBSTITUTION: Paulinho OFF Gaitan ON
- 69'Iheanacho is lucky to get away with just a booking as he stamps down on Al Musrati's boot.
- 67'Maddison does brilliantly in midfield, fires the ball into Tielemans who sets free Iheanacho. The Nigerian whips the ball to the back post and it's an easy tap-in for Praet.
- 67'GOALLL! PRAET MAKES IT THREE! Praet comes off the bench to kill the game as he tucks the ball home at the back post.
- 66'Raul heads clear from a dangerous cross and concedes the corner.
- 64'As we move into the final 25 minutes off this game, Leicester seem to be fully in control of this one. It's quite surprising to see Maddison still on the pitch after the two heavy knocks he took in the first half.
- 62'SUBSTITUTION: Ruiz OFF Schettine ON
- 62'SUBSTITUTION: Under OFF Praet ON
- 62'SUBSTITUTION: Horta OFF Medeiros ON
- 62'SUBSTITUTION: Albrighton OFF Morgan ON
- 60'Albrighton tries an audacious looping volley but it goes way wide of the target.
- 58'Praet and Morgan are warming up and preparing to enter the action.
- 55'Leicester are pushing to kill this game off and cement their place at the top of the group.
- 52'CHANCE! Iheanacho is through but Matheus thwarts his effort for his hat-trick. Under follows up with a shot that flies just wide of the post.
- 49'Maddison is furious with Iheanacho as the striker selfishly went for his hat-trick rather than slide the ball into the Englishman's feet for a better chance of scoring a third.
- 45'+2'As things stand, Leicester will maintain their 100% record in the Europa League to go top of Group G. Braga will be hoping they can continue to cause problems but they need to be more clinical when chances fall to them.
- 45'+2'Iheanacho's brilliant solo goal is the difference at the break. Braga have had their moments and controlled possession for large parts of the first half, but it's the home side that have the lead with the quality of players making the difference so far.
- 47'Under picks the ball up on the halfway line and drives forward before firing the ball sharply into Iheanacho's feet and the striker does the rest. Yet another slice of luck goes Iheanacho's way and makes it two goals for him tonight.
- 47'GOALLL! IT'S TWO FOR IHEANACHO! Under finds Iheanacho outside the penalty box, the striker gets the ball out of his feet and his deflected strike loops into the net.
- 47'Maddison continues to limp a little in his movement after the break.
- 45'+2'HALF TIME: Leicester 1-0 Sporting Braga
- 45'+2'Esgaio is booked for a foul on Under.
- 46'The second half is underway.
- 45'+1'WHAT A SAVE! Iheanacho drives forward before playing in Maddison, he cuts inside of Raul and drills the ball towards the far post but Matheus tips the ball around the post brilliantly.
- 45'Leicester have regained control of this game going into the half-time break. Choudhury is putting a real shift in alongside Tielemans, breaking up Braga attacks before they can take shape.
- 43'Albrighton is booked for a late challenge on Galeno.
- 40'Maddison is down yet again. This time after a collision with Galeno.
- 38'Leicester are defending well against the Braga pressure but the away side are pushing hard for an equaliser.
- 35'Braga are having a good spell of possession and pressure as Leicester seemed to have dropped off after scoring.
- 32'Maddison tries his luck from distance but it zips just over the crossbar. He seems to have recovered from the knock he picked up earlier.
- 29'Braga are starting to ask a few questions of the Leicester defence now. Choudhury does brilliantly to cushion the ball back to Schmeichel to clear after a dangerous cross from Paulinho.
- 27'Fofana looks so comfortable playing at the heart of the defence in this system. It looks as though Leicester have find themselves a gem of a player.
- 25'Braga work the ball well and win a corner.
- 23'Tielemans is dictacting the tempo of this game, switching the play and pulling the strings for the home side.
- 20'Maddison may be limping but he's still able to find space between the lines and play a lovely pass through into Iheanacho who gets a bit of luck go his way before sliding the ball into the net.
- 20'GOALLL! IHEANACHO BUNDLES IT HOME! The Nigerian striker plays a nice one-two with Maddison, drives towards goal and gets a lucky bounce go his way before slotting the ball home.
- 19'Maddison is back on the pitch and is immediately involved. His through ball attempt is cut out by Bruno Viana as Iheanacho looked to be through on goal.
- 17'Maddison is down again receiving treatment. It doesn't look good for the England international.
- 16'Maddison is down injured holding his right knee after a heavy tackle.
- 13'Fuchs plays a poor pass into Tielemans and Novais intercepts and drills a shot wide of the goal.
- 12'Choudhury hits a volley from the edge of the box which is deflected behind for another corner.
- 11'Thomas whips in a dangerous cross and Raul clears the ball for a corner.
- 9'The Foxes are dominating possession of the ball in the opening minutes of this game. Braga look solid in their shape and are making it hard for Maddison and Under to create any chances.
- 7'Leicester get caught out on the counter attack and concede a corner.
- 5'Albrighton lifts the ball into Justin who plays through Under and the Turkish winger wins a corner.
- 3'Iheanacho is caught by Matheus but the Nigerian was offside in the build-up.
- 1'We're underway at the King Power Stadium.
- -The teams are making their way out of the tunnel. Kick off is moments away.
- -Carlos Carvalhal returns to England tonight for the first time since being relegated from the Premier League with Swansea City in 2018 – coming up against another former Swans boss in Brendan Rodgers.
