Lisbon giants win again to stretch advantage at the top of the standings.
Portuguese league leaders Benfica continued their seemingly unstoppable march towards the title on the weekend by seeing off the limp challenge of Olhanense 2-0 on their travels to extend their advantage over fierce rivals FC Porto to seven points now.
Eduardo Salvio gave the visitors a deserved lead after firing home from all of 25 yards out, the Argentinian’s mishit effort somehow finding its way into the back of the net.
And then the match was effectively all over as a contest when one-time Chelsea midfield player Nemanja Matic made it 2-0 midway through the second half.
