All Big-Three win

An atypical weekend for the Big Three (FC Porto, Sporting CP and SL Benfica). They all have won their fixtures and stay top at the Portuguese League!
Saturday, SL Benfica scored early at Sporting Braga's stadium by Nuno Gomes to win precious 3 points against one of its biggest opponents in the Champions League place race.
FC Porto went to Coimbra to face Académica and dispite the great effort by the local team, they eventually scored in the second half by the replacement, Hugo Almeida. A good win, but they lost their starlet, Lucho Gonzalez for 1 or 2 games.
Sunday was Sporting CP that played home against FC Penafiel. They won easily against a team that was relegated after a tremendously poor season.
FC Porto stays top 2 points clear of Sporting and 7 points clear SL Benfica.
But the great classic between Sporting CP and FC Porto is coming!!!
