FC Porto win Portuguese league for 26th time

Lisbon: FC Porto celebrated their 26th Portuguese league title triumph after a 2-0 win over Maritimo.

 

After beating Maritimo 2-0 Saturday thanks to two penalties from Brazilian star Hulk, their closest rivals Benfica could only draw 2-2 at Rio Ave Sunday.

 

That left Porto with a six-point lead with two games left but assured the title due to their better head-to-head record over their Lisbon rivals. (IANS)
