Sporting Clube de Lisboa, where young Mozambican international Geny Catamo plays, received and beat FC Porto (2-0) this Monday in the closing match of the 14th round, confirming their return to the top of the table, where they will spend... the Christmas season.
With goals from Gyokeres and Pedro Gonçalves, the lions put an end to the stalemate represented by their blue and white rivals. After all, Sporting hadn't beaten FC Porto in a league match since August 2016.
The Swedish striker soon opened the scoring in Alvalade with a spontaneous shot in the 11th minute, while Pote extended the lead in the 60th minute, ten minutes after Pepe had been sent off.
Having done the math, Sporting now have 34 points, one more than Benfica (33), who took the provisional lead yesterday after their win in Braga. The Eagles are back in second place, while FC Porto close out the podium with 31 points.
