Benfica Finally Alone at Top

Sporting Lisbon managed to prevent Porto from remaining on top of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, and at the same time did a favour to their cross-town rivals, Benfica.

One day after Sporting CP drew FC Porto at the Jose Alvalade, Benfica crushed Uniao Leiria in Marinha Grande, 4-0.

Benfica is now two points up on Porto, and the difference between the teams' goal differences has diminished significantly, too. (Porto has +24, Benfica +23.)

On top of that, the remaining direct encounter is to be played in Lisbon.

Porto's not looking good this year. It couldn't be the fact that Villas-Boas left, could it?
