(GSM) - Sporting Braga failed to take distance of Benfica at the top of the Portuguese league, being held to a goalless draw by Naval 1º de Maio.
As Benfica drew 2-2 at Olhanense a day earlier, Braga had a perfect opportunity to leave their joint-leaders behind and go two points clear.
But the season revelations failed to hit the target in their home game with Naval, and as such have to share their lead for at least another week.
Moreover, the results of Benfica and Braga allowed defending champions Porto to reduce the gap with the top two to just one point.
Porto hosted last-placed Vitoria Setubal and took the lead through Ernesto Farias in the 22nd minute. Three minutes later, it was Silvestre Varela to double the gap.
