Sense of intrigue in Portuguese top league rises as Porto removes Benfica from the top in face-to-face encounter

Porto has leaped to 1st place of Primeira Liga after the close win against the defending champions Benfica. Scoreline was opened by Porto midfielder Hector Herrera at 90th minute of the game and the late goal was enough to secure a vital victory. Take a look at that nice screamer which is probably the turning point of Portugal’s football elite title race this season.

Porto did well to get themselves closer to the title but their chances are still a bit shaky with 4 games of the season left to play.

• Porto got 76 points against 74 points of running-up Benfica.
• Hector Herrera scored 3 goals and made 4 assists in 25 games of this season.
