Borges played the full 90 minutes, as the Robins were held to a 1-1 draw by Kieran McKenna's side on Tuesday night. Jack Clarke's second-half penalty proved to be enough to cancel out Rob Atkinson’s first City goal in almost three years and ensure the points were shared in BS3.

Deployed as a left wing-back, Borges was heavily involved both in and out of possession against the Tractor Boys as he worked back well to assist Atkinson defensively, while also carrying an attacking threat to carve out chances for Zak Vyner and Sinclair Armstrong.

Having had a taste of the Ashton Gate atmosphere during his cameo appearance against Oxford United and in his time at Middlesbrough, the 29-year-old was delighted to make his full City debut and quick to laud the home support for the atmosphere they created.
