01:12Barth
01:15I'm sorry right to throw

02:28vision to spot that run
02:31Gabribega
02:34there's an element of good fortune about it
02:36I think Gabribega was trying to
02:39control it
02:40control it really here as it's coming over his shoulder
02:42and hook it towards goal
02:44one way or the other
02:44it fell nicely for him
02:46and he was able to touch it
02:48past Suarez

03:18needs to keep a lid on things
03:21doesn't want to do anything silly
03:22and get himself
03:26the referee really has his work cut out here
03:29oh we've seen a red card
03:34Malone is on a yellow already
03:40it's a second yellow
03:41for the Frenchman
03:44and he's off before half time
03:46things going from bad to worse
03:49for Benfica here
03:59just a little slap out there from the French defender
04:05Andre Silva hit the deck
04:09good view of it here
04:12it's pretty innocuous
04:16but when you're on a yellow card
04:18you just cannot do that
04:26and Wang comes on on his 30th birthday
04:30the South Korean international
04:33Giacchetti

05:04This is a lovely build-up play, Gómez, too close to the keeper again, it's easily claimed by Suárez, not
05:13the best ball that time from William Gómez.
05:22It's the last action of the first half, a very, very exciting first half at the drag house, just one
05:29goal, the goal coming from Gabri Vega on 31 minutes, but shortly after that, a significant moment when Clement Longley
05:36picked up a second yellow card.
05:38Gabri Vega was on a yellow card himself, so he was replaced, and one or two tempers just flaring a
05:48little bit here, approaching halftime, but it is the home side, it's the goal that separates the sides.
05:58Second half underway, Porto looking to stretch their lead at the top of the table to five points already, just
06:06seven games into the season.
06:09If they can win this one, here's Gómez, he's overhit the cross.
06:17It's going to be a big mountain for Benfica to climb in this second half, though.
06:24Trailing by a goal to nil, and also down to ten men, Francesco Farrioli's Porto players allowed Benfica wait for
06:32a couple of minutes out on the pitch, before they came back out for the start of the second half.
06:38That's a loose ball by Orozco picked up by Frodo, Gómez.
06:47One change in the first half for Porto, Wang came on for Gabri Vega, who was on a yellow card
06:53when things were getting a little bit tetchy and quite fraught.
06:58And maybe Francesco Farrioli made the wise decision to take the goal scorer off and bring on Wagenboom.
07:15Gómez, too close to the keeper once more.
07:22Eight seasons he spent with Southampton, Bednarek.
07:29Kossa into the area, and Rosario with the shot, well saved by...
07:34That's right, Prestiani again, looking to take off Amla Rosario here.
07:42That's a good ball from Prestiani, it's an equaliser!
07:47Alexandra Bar, with the finish, after a wonderful assist from Prestiani.
07:58Benfica back on level terms, and it's the right-back, Alex Baal position.
08:06Prestiani dancing his way down that left-hand side.
08:10Beautifully weighted cross, and a perfectly timed run from Bar.
08:20Well, they might be down to ten men, but they're back on level terms in this match.
08:29Super ball from Prestiani.
08:32Bar got there ahead of Diogo Costa.
08:36Porto won, Benfica won, seven minutes after the restart.
09:01Here's Rosario, sliding one through for Silva.
09:05And Frodo's!
09:07Porto back in front!
09:21What a response to conceding!
09:27Frodo back in the team, having suffered concussions.
09:31And is that a knockout blow for Porto?
09:35An immediate response from Ferrioli's men, as Pepe played it inside.
09:41Space there for Rosario.
09:43Silva was onside, and throw.
09:47Calm finish with that left foot of his.
09:52Into the corner for 2-1.
10:01What a game we have.
10:03What a game we have.
10:12Victor Froho, young player of the year last year.
10:18That could be a decisive moment.
10:24Here goes Froho again.
10:29Silva.
10:32Wang with the effort in the net!
10:373-1!
10:43His first goal for Porto.
10:48And it's a huge one!
10:57Just need to double check that Andre Silva was onside when he was sick.
11:04Yeah, it looks like he is.
11:06Yeah, it looks like he is.
11:09Now, Wang got there superbly ahead of Frederick Arsnes.
11:14What a finish.
11:17What a moment for him on his 30th birthday.
11:20What a birthday present.
11:23Porto.
11:263-1 up.
11:27And look to be on their way to 3 points.
11:34That's a magnificent finish.
11:36Great angle there.
11:38Super goal from Wang.
11:43Rosario.
11:45Not a bad effort.
11:47Throw in to the home side.
11:48Piotr Shevsky just been told to take his time here.
11:55Samu.
11:56What a layoff there for Piotr Shevsky.
11:59It was a good tackle in the end by Orojo.
12:09Corner flag.
12:10They lead 3-1.
12:11Two minutes into stoppage time.
12:14And they're celebrating making a tackle like that.
12:17It's just a yellow card for Piotr Shevsky.
12:21The Benfica players maybe not appreciating that.
12:24But it is an example there of the work rate of the Porto players
12:30and how much that's been drilled into them by Farioli.
12:35Tomas Orojo gets a yellow card as well for something he said.
12:43A bit of youthful exuberance maybe from the 17-year-old Piotr Shevsky.
12:54Well, we watch a replay of that pushing and shoving.
12:57The final whistle sounds.
12:59And Porto have won this to go five points clear at the top of the table.
13:04A hugely significant victory for Francesco Farioli's men.
13:09Gabri Vega setting them on their way in the first half before Clermont Lonely was sent off for a second
13:15yellow card.
13:16That was a big moment.
13:18Alex Piotr did get an equaliser seven minutes after the restart.
13:23But immediately Porto were back in front when Victor Frojo found the net.
13:28And then Wang on his 30th birthday made it 3-1.
13:31Porto on 21 points at the top of the table.
13:35Five clear from Benfica now.
