The Benfica leaders took their eighth successive victory in Football League One this Sunday, beating Maritima 3-0 in Madeira in a matchday 24 game in which Neres scored twice and João Mário also scored.
In Funchal, goals from Neres (45+3 and 57 minutes) and João Mario (50), who missed a penalty in the first half but ended up equal with his colleague Gonçalo Ramos in the top scorers list, with his 15th goal in Ligue I allowed “embodied” to improve the record of seven victories in a row, which they set at the start of the championship.
Benfica restored the eight-point difference with second-placed Porto, now adding 65, while Maritimo suffered their second defeat in a row and are in 16th place instead of the maintenance play-off with 16.
