Looks like Sporting Braga lost it exactly when they needed it most.
They had two huge matches, Benfica away and Porto at home, and, given their previous form of over 10 consecutively won games in the league, Braga seemed like they could really do it to their much-more-famous rivals.
Unfortunately for them, though, Braga cracked and could not muster even a single point from these two matches.
Porto, who beat them 1-0 in Braga today, thanks to a Hulk goal, early in the second half, is now 5 points ahead of Braga.
Benfica faces a tough challenge on Monday - they're playing Sporting Lisbon away - but they could stay within one point of Porto and pull away from Braga, too.
(Of course, though, Sporting needs points for their fight against Maritimo, too.)
...And Braga seems lost in between the top two and 4th and 5th, now, with nowhere to go.
