Porto stun Sporting CP on Saturday as they took top spot in league table after securing their fourth win at Lisbon while all three goals scored by Porto players thanks to own goal form Argentinian defender Perez who score consolation own goal for Sporting.
Match started at high tempo fans watch 4 yellow cards in first half with things were not easy to score goals despite having good attacking soccer from both teams but in second half de Jong and Williams Gomes score two quick goals which handed Porto big win.
Porto winning Sporting Lisbon shows that they are ready for the title this season unlike last two seasons that they could only finish in the third position. The first half of Porto versus Sporting Lisbon match was so tensed and both teams couldn't score but as they entered the second half i was marveled at how Porto could score within 4 minutes apart which was in the 61st and 64th minutes respectively, and if not for the own goal they conceded, Sporting Lisbon wouldn't have scored any goal. Porto last won the Liga Portugal in 2021-2022 season, since they have won their first 4 games, the title might belong to them this season. One thing i like about Porto is their defense, imagine playing 4 games and only conceded one goal it shows that they have a very solid defense.
Today, Benfica is going to visit Alverca which will give them third win and Braga will be entertained Rio Ave for chance of jumping at second spot in league table.
Benfica almost ruined their match against Alverca but what saved them was that they have already scored 2 goals before Amar Dedic was sent off as a result of red card otherwise Alverca almost equalized the score but they could only manage to score one goal. Benfica has only played 3 matches and got 9 points, if they win their outstanding match then they will equal points with Porto but what will separate them will be goal difference since Porto have scored more goals than Benfica.
