Benfica could not beat Rio Ave today.
This means FC Porto are the new Primeira Liga champions!
The rules of the Portuguese league state that FC Porto has the tiebreaker over Benfica (- direct matches -) who is the only team that could still end up tied on points with the Oporto giants.
So, Porto wins this title without even playing. I'm sure they're having some fun at the expense of Benfica's humiliating failure.
In hindsight, Porto was clearly the best team, though, beating Benfica and Braga (and Maritimo, which makes it three of the other four from the top five) away from home! That's just excellent form!
This is Porto's 26th title. (Benfica has 32 overall.)
