Benfica have moved one step closer to celebrating success in the Primeira Liga after a 4-1 win versus Sporting de Braga opened up a two-point-advantage at the top of the table, this Sunday.

FC Porto had their title hopes deflated on Friday night after giving up a 2-0 lead over Rio Ave late on to draw 2-2 away from home, having initially trailed the Eagles on head-to-head results.

A victory for Bruno Lage’s men away from home offers them margin for error with three league games to go, leaving Sporting to take advantage of Braga’s demise to go six points ahead in third place after victory in their game at home to Vitória de Guimarães. PortuGOAL brings you up to speed with the peak of the action in a potentially decisive week of Primeira Liga football.

As Liga NOS 2018/19 rapidly approaches its climax, Week 30 saw the official exit from the division of Feirense, officially relegated before they kicked a ball by virtue of Aves’ excellent win away at Vitória Guimarães.

Tondela and Chaves boosted their own survival hopes with vital 1-0 wins, while the top 4 remained as they were after all recording victories to nil.

The sides below that top 4 bracket all struggled though as the aforementioned Vitória were joined by Moreirense and Belenenses in suffering defeat, the latter at the hands of a recently improved Rio Ave side, who largely had striker Bruno Moreira to thank in recording an impressive 3-1 win at Jamor on Saturday.

Benfica have kept their place at the top of the Primeira Liga table after hammering Marítimo 6-0 at home, this Monday.

FC Porto initially made the move up to top spot with a narrow, hard-fought victory at home to Santa Clara on Saturday night, relying on a first-half Moussa Marega goal to claim all three points.

A Man of the Match performance from João Félix helped Benfica reverse the picture at the top of the table, however, as the likes of Franco Cervi, Pizzi and Eduardo Salvio also starred against Petit’s Marítimo in a 6-0 thrashing.

Elsewhere, Sporting made it seven league wins on the spin with a 1-0 win against Nacional, in Madeira, keeping Sporting de Braga away from third place after their 2-0 triumph over Feirense. PortuGOAL brings you more from the leading Primeira Liga sides.

Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 Benfica (agg. 4-4, Eintracht win on away goals) 

Eintracht Frankfurt defeated Benfica 2-0 at the Waldstadion to advance to the UEFA Europa League semi-finals.

An offside Filip Kostic goal and Sebastian Rode strike clinched a famous victory, the result overturning the first leg 4-2 defeat in Lisbon as the German club go through on away goals. Ante Rebic was outstanding for Frankfurt, but it was a total team effort roared on by an passionate and raucous home support. The Portuguese club will lament the offside goal but were largely second best throughout the contest.
