FC Porto 2-1 Benfica tactical breakdown
FC Porto leapfrog Benfica with one match left
 The climax for the Portuguese season has finally arrived (or has it? Let's keep in mind that FC Porto have yet to play third-placed Paços de Ferreira away). Last night's match had everything fans from one side or the other of the barricade and the neutral football buffs could want: Intensity, uncertainty about the result, some undercover dirty tricks and a goal in the dying moments.
In a match that was under the scrutiny of many people worldwide - since it was the last tittle race still going in Europe's major leagues - FC Porto and Benfica participated in a hard-fought battle for Portugal's most important title that must have attracted numerous fans the world over.

But two simple finishes by Lucho and Defour, after inch-perfect crosses from James and Mangala respectively, secured the three points for the Dragons, moving Vítor Pereira's side to within one point of Benfica who play at Marítimo on Monday.
