Porto produced another great performance at Estádio do Dragão where they thrashed Benfica 5-0 in a dominant performance.
Galeno opened the scoring in the 20th minute and extended the lead on the stroke of half-time, both goals originating from Francisco Conceição’s left foot.
The Eagles struggled after the break and found themselves 3-0 down in the 55th minute when Wendell’s deflected strike gave Anatoliy Trubin no chance.
Benfica’s problems were compounded six minutes later when Nicolás Otamendi received a second yellow card, Roger Schmidt and his side passengers for the rest of the contest.
Porto didn’t let their rivals off the hook, Pepê Aquino slamming the ball past Trubin in the 75th minute and Jorge Sánchez’s cross converted by Danny Namaso on the cusp of full-time.
The result sees Sporting Clube de Portugal stay one point clear of Benfica with a game in hand, Porto seven points further back with ten games to play.
