Porto continue to pressure Sporting Lisbon. The “dragons” relatively easily defeated Estrella Amadora 2-0 in “Dragão” for the 14th matchday of the Primeira Liga and reduced to -2 from the pioneer and champions in second place in the attempt to “steal” the title from the champions. Thus, the “dragons” remained unbeaten in their last five matches in Portugal and the Europa League, leaving the newcomers +1 from the relegation places.
Nico Gonzalez made it 1-0 in the 12th minute, for Borges to shape the final result in the 90th + 3rd minute, helped by the dismissal of Vega in the 74th minute.
Ricardo Horta’s goal saved Braga, who equalized at 90’+4′ at “Municipal” Famalicao to 3-3, losing at half-time 0-2 and 1-3 in the second, staying -2 from the privileged four in fifth place and giving the visitors a chance to reach the top eight.
Guimaraes avoided the “caso”, after drawing at the home of Rio Ave from 0-2 to 2-2 and remaining at -5 from the European goals, giving the home team the opportunity to be away from the danger zone.
