Benfica beat Rio Ave 1-0 this Sunday and managed to collect three more points, remaining an isolated leader in Ligue 1.
Gonzalo Ramos scored the only goal of the match in the first minutes of the second half. Roger Schmidt’s team managed to maintain a minimal lead, despite some moves in which the home team could achieve equality.
The Eagles have thus managed to put pressure on Porto to play this Sunday, five days before a derby between the two teams.
