Sporting have fallen into fourth place on the final day of the season after a 2-1 loss to Benfica at the Estádio da Luz opened up a route for Braga to claim a top-three finish, defeating Porto 2-1 at home.

With both sides in action simultaneously, Benfica placed their rival in a spot of bother when scoring late through Carlos Vinícius to clinch a 2-1 win at home to the Lions, as Braga faced off against the newly-crowned Primeira Liga champions, Porto.

The loss left the Lions vulnerable after the Arsenalistas turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 turnaround at the Estadio Municipal de Braga, consequently overtaking Sporting and sealing an automatic route to next season’s Europa League group stages.

Elsewhere, Rio Ave completed the Primeira Liga’s top five in the ever-evolving tussle for the final qualifying spot for Europa League football, taking advantage of FC Famalicão’s 3-3 draw to Marítimo to leapfrog the former with a 2-0 win against Boavista. Here’s how the story unfolded on a action-packed final day at the top of the table.

Just one more round left of Liga NOS 2019/20 as a tumultuous campaign in more ways than one draws to a close. Jornada 33 provided its share of drama to ensure a nervy finale coming up this weekend, Famalicão and Rio Ave both drawing their games 2-2 to keep the battle for Europe extremely close.

The relegation showdown is far from over too, Paços Ferreira and Belenenses got themselves out of it with vital wins to leave Portimonense, Vitória Setúbal and Tondela duking it out to avoid joining Aves in descending the division.

Matters at the top are more done and dusted, most notably Porto already being declared league champions. They celebrated their coronation with a thumping victory over Moreirense in which PortuGOAL Figure of the Week Otávio was at his influential best.

Sporting have missed the chance to secure automatic qualification for the Europa League after Tondela’s 1-0 victory over fourth-placed Sporting de Braga paved the way for the Lions, following up the shock result with a 0-0 draw at home to Vitória de Setúbal instead.

Deep in the relegation battle, Tondela edged themselves a step closer to safety, sitting three points outside of the drop-zone going into the final fixture of the season after beating Braga on Monday night.

The victory opened up the prospect for Sporting, requiring just two points to confirm their presence on the Primeira Liga podium, but an important point for Setúbal, also involved in the fight for survival, took the Sadinos a point above relegation-threatened Portimonense and left the Green & Whites still within touching distance of Braga ahead of the Lisbon derby versus Benfica.

Elsewhere, FC Porto marked their last home game of the season, complete with lifting of the Liga NOS title, with a 6-1 thrashing handed to Moreirense before Benfica’s 4-0 win away to a sorry Desportivo das Aves side. Here's the peak of the action from the penultimate set of fixtures of the season.

After several months of flirting with the concept, Jorge Jesus completed his anticipated return to Benfica last week, just five summers after crossing the Lisbon divide and swapping the Estádio da Luz for Alvalade, home to bitter rivals Sporting.

Although the memories pre-switch are fond and the CV, post-Flamengo, as enriched as it’s ever been, the manner in which Jesus departed from under the Eagles’ wings has never quite been forgotten, with the 65-year-old tasked with greater success back in the Portuguese capital to fully lighten the mood surrounding his limelight-soaking return.

But, as Benfica bow out of a disappointing 2019/20 campaign, just what will it take for Benfica, as well as Jesus, to conquer the Portuguese game again? And what are the implications if he doesn’t? Here are five queries looming over the coup.
