Song Min-kyu recorded his first attacking point for Nacional with an assist in his fifth appearance for the Portuguese club.
Nacional beat Braga 1-0 at Estadio da Madeira in Funchal, Portugal, on Monday, with Miguel Baeza scoring the winner from Song's assist in the ninth round of the 2026-27 Primeira Liga.
The victory ended Nacional’s six-game league losing streak and gave the club its second win of the season, along with one draw and six losses, moving it into 15th place.
Nacional scored in the 19th minute.
Starting on the left wing in a 5-4-1 formation, Song collected a pass from Chiheb Labidi during a counterattack and drove into the left side of the penalty area.
He then played a precise right-footed pass toward Baeza near the top of the penalty arc, and Baeza finished first time with his left foot into the lower-left corner.
The goal was confirmed after a VAR review.
Song joined Nacional from K League 1 club FC Seoul on Aug. 30 and registered his first attacking point in his fifth appearance in all competitions, including four league matches and one cup game.
The goal also gave Song his first victory since joining the club after Nacional had lost his first four appearances, including three league matches and one cup game.
Song finished with one assist, two key passes and one cross before being substituted in the 68th minute for Matchoi Djalo.
Nacional was outshot 20-8, including 4-2 in shots on target, and had just 29 percent possession to Braga's 71 percent, but held on for the win.
