A single goal midway through the second half was enough to give Vizela all three points against Casa Pia this afternoon.

In an even contest, it was a high-quality team move finished off by Raphael Guzzo that proved decisive as the hosts missed out on the chance to move into third place in the standings.

Benfica have held onto top spot after defeating Rio Ave 4-2 at home and making it eight wins from nine in a ferocious start to the season.

The Eagles piled the pressure on their trailing rivals FC Porto with the win at home to the Vilacondenses, highlighted by a Gonçalo Ramos brace after Roger Schmidt’s side were made to chase the game from a goal down at the Estádio da Luz.

Porto have kept the gap between themselves and table-topping Benfica to just three points when they were able to manoeuvre themselves around high-flying Portimonense with a 2-0 away from home.

Sporting also tightened their proximity to the top three, moving up to fifth place, behind the in-form Casa Pia, with a 2-1 away victory against Santa Clara.

Braga’s perfect start in the Europa League came to an end at the Quarry after conceding two late goals in a 2-1 defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise.

Abel Ruiz put the hosts ahead in the 49th minute and spurned a great chance to extend the lead 11 minutes later.

The Portuguese club seemed destined for victory and a three point lead in Group D, but Gustaf Nilsson had other ideas.

The Swedish striker scored three minutes after being introduced before netting the winner deep into added time.

Ever since the Champions League draw was made it was one of the most keenly anticipated fixtures of the packed pre-World Cup schedule for Benfica fans, and the clash versus PSG in Lisbon tonight was no let-down.

Benfica started strongly but a moment of genius from Lionel Messi gave the visitors the lead, before a Danilo own goal made it all square at the break – a scoreline that flattered the Parisians.

It was a different story in the second half, PSG dominating most of it and creating the better chances, but with both goalkeepers on top form the points were shared.
