Title race in Portugal takes an unexpected turn.
FC Porto lost ground on Portuguese Primeira Liga leaders SL Benfica after only being held to a 1-1 draw at Maritimo, while their rivals from Lisbon thrashed Guimaraes 4-0.
Porto had taken a first-half lead through highly-rated Colombia international midfield player James Rodriguez, who scored from Steven Defour’s centre.
However, the Portuguese giants only held their slender advantage for four minutes before the home side’s South Korea international Hyun Jun Suk equalised, and with neither side able to make further breakthrough before the end of the match, the points were shared.
