Porto lose ground, Lisbon win

Porto lost ground on Liga ZON Sagres leaders Benfica after a 3-1 defeat at Gil Vicente. The second-placed side are five points adrift of their title rivals after a disappointing display that saw Carolino Claudio open the scoring after 15 minutes and double the lead with a penalty on the stroke of half-time. Andre Cunha made it 3-0 after 52 minutes before Silvestre Varela netted a consolation 13 minutes from time. Sporting Lisbon secured a 2-0 win over visiting Beira Mar, with American defender Oguchi Onyewu scoring twice in the opening half-hour. Vitoria Setubal were 12 minutes away from a point that would have lifted them off bottom spot, but Olhanense were 3-2 winners thanks to Ismaily's winning goal. Vitoria had a two-goal lead inside ten minutes after Albert Ze Meyong's penalty and Caue's own goal, before Jean-Paul Yontcha scored twice in four minutes to level the score. Second-bottom Uniao Leiria were beaten 4-2 by Pacos Ferreira. The six goals came from just three players, as Uniao's John Ogu and Pacos pair Manuel Jose Azevedo and Michel each scored twice.
