This Saturday, Benfica won 2-0 against Desportivo de Chaves in the 10th round of the Portuguese Football League, temporarily equaling the lead with Sporting and three points ahead of Porto.
Norway’s Fredrik Orsnes in the 59th minute and Joao Mario in the 80th from the penalty spot scored the goals for the Eagles’ return to triumph on a ground where they lost 1-0 last season after drawing 1-1 at Casa Pia.
Benfica moved into first place with 25 points, the same as Sporting, who host Estrela da Amadora on Sunday and travel to Luz in the next round, and three more than Porto, beaten at home Estoril Praia (0-1). Chaves is 15th with seven.
