Porto drop points in Barcelos as Benfica consolidate top spot

Porto’s heroics against Arsenal in midweek were soon forgotten as the Dragons dropped points for the third time in four Liga games at Gil Vicente this afternoon.

Evanilson put the Dragons ahead from the penalty spot in the 55th minute, but Porto missed several chances to increase their lead and were punished when Thomás Luciano headed in a dramatic stoppage time equaliser to earn Gil Vicente a 1-1 draw.

At the Estádio da Luz Benfica had little trouble overcoming Portimonense, winning 4-0. 

The Eagles missed a host of chances in the first half but hit the visitors with three goals in four minutes early in the second half through Rafa Silva, David Neres and Ángel Di María. Rafa added a fourth in the 75th minute to make it 10 goals scored by Benfica in their last two home games.
