Porto remained at the top of the Primeira Liga. The “dragons” easily defeated Vangelis Marinakis’ Rio Ave 2-0 in “Dragão” for the third matchday of the Portuguese league and, with “3 out of 3”, they “appear” at the top of the scoreboard, being the first favorite this season moment for winning the title and leaving the visitors to one victory.
The winning goals were scored by Galeno in the 1st minute and Nico Gonzalez in the 30th minute, with Patrick’s dismissal in the 30th minute not changing anything afterwards.
Famalicao are putting as much pressure on the “dragons” as they beat Boavista 1-0 at home, maintaining their unbeaten record and top spot, leaving the 2001 champions within one win.
At -3 from the top remained Benfica, who beat Estrella Amadora 1-0 at “Da Luz” and are trying to return to first place, leaving the visitors firmly in last place without a point.
The goal that gave victory to the Lusitanians was scored by Koktsu in the 19th minute. Vangelis Pavlidis played as a starter until 86′.
In fourth place and -3 from the top is Santa Clara, which won 2-0 at home against the absent Casa Pia and left it in a difficult position.
