She dropped her five, got away and Benfica is waiting

The league is approaching for Benfica, who swept 5-1 at home to Portimonense for matchday 32 of the Primeira Liga and temporarily escaped +7 at the top of second-placed Porto, who have a game in hand and host Casa Pia on Sunday at the Dragao, with the Lusitanians needing a defeat for the Dragons to take the title from now mathematically, otherwise they will need a win next week in the local derby against Sporting at the Jose Alvalade to do so.

For their part, the home team remained in 13th place with no goals for the rest.

Roger Schmidt’s men made it 3-1 in the first half with Grimaldo in the 4th minute, a Relvas own goal in the 28th minute and a Gonzalo Ramos goal in the 45th minute, with Pedro Enrique in the 38th minute having reduced the deficit to 1- 2. In the last five minutes, Moussa in 87′ and 89′ put the “icing on the cake”.

With a turnaround in the second half and a goal in stoppage time, Sporting Lisbon defeated Maritimo in the capital and hopes for third place, leaving the visitors at -5 from the previous match and in a difficult position.

The goals of the “lions” were scored in the 85′ with an own goal by Mateus Costa and in the 93′ by Coates, overturning Vitor’s 0-1 in the 10′.

Chaves came close to -1 from the privileged five with a 2-1 home win over Pasos Ferreira, who were also mathematically relegated.

Vizela and Famalikao “took out their eyes” after the 0-0 draw between them at the home of the former in the attempt to reach Europe.
