Benfica should not have lost in Oporto.
But FC Porto had one lucky break, when Kelvin decided to shoot from an unconventional position, in the 92nd minute, and that inspiration probably took the title from their bitter rivals and gave it to the team from the north.
Of course, Porto still has a hard match coming up, against 3rd-placed Pacos de Ferreira. But Pacos has nothing left to play for, because they can no longer be reached by Braga even if they lose.
Benfica has probably the easiest match of the season, against Moreirense at home, but it's all for naught if Porto wins.
Again, I just have to talk about Jorge Jesus. The image of the Benfica coach falling down on his knees after Kelvin's goal says it all. Jesus is not good enough to win titles. Benfica needs a better coach. And that's that.
Maybe if he wins the Europa League, against Chelsea, management will be lenient. But losing a title like this, to your biggest rivals, is worse than losing by 20 points, for instance.
How much longer will Jorge Jesus' incompetence be tolerated?
But maybe I shouldn't talk in advance. Maybe Pacos de Ferreira will not lose to Porto.
(Don't bet on it, though!)
