At the top of the Portuguese Championship, Sporting Portugal and Benfica Lisbon are not letting go of each other. This Monday, the two Lisbon clubs each signed their sixth victory in a row in the Championship. Sporting Portugal remains in the lead, with a one point lead.
Benfica, led by Estrela in the 28th minute, did not tremble for long. Just before halftime, the Red Eagles scored two goals in three minutes (44, 45th+1), through Artur Cabral and Rafa Silva. In the second half, Nicolas Otamendi (52nd) and Marcos Leonardo, the new recruit, (93rd) worsened the score.
The Sporting Portugal match, which was played just after, was even more prolific. At half-time, the capital club already led 5-0, thanks to a brace from Viktor Gyökeres and goals from Sebastián Coates, Pedro Gonçalves and Trincão. The achievements of Geny Catamo (63rd) and the doubles of Sebastián Coates (82nd) and Trincão (94th) added to the score: 8-0 final score.
