Liga Sagres: Porto go level with Benfica

20 January 2013 01:18

Porto have drawn level on points with Benfica at the top of the Liga Sagres table after an easy 2-0 win over Pacos de Ferreira on Saturday.

Both the goals came in the second half with Alex Sandro opening the scoring two minutes after the break before Marat Izmailov sealed the win on 78 minutes.

Vitor Pereira's side are now only behind Benfica on goal difference with both sides sitting on 36 points.

However, the Eagles have the chance to take sole ownership of first place when they play Moreirense on Monday.
