FC Porto currently lead the championship after beating Arouca 4-0 over the weekend, while Sporting lie in a distant third after a similar result at struggling Tondela.

Portimonense are meanwhile ever closer to claiming promotion to the nation’s top league after beating Famalicão 2-1 in Portimão.

Second-placed Desportivo das Aves could only draw, which leaves the Algarve club 12 points clear at the top with 11 games to play.
