Benfica hits back in style

29 January 2012-PA Sport

Benfica moved five points clear at the Portuguese Liga summit with a 2-1 triumph at Feirense.

The fourth-bottom host had taken the lead five minutes into the second half through Fernando Varela, but the same player then put through his own net to equalise for Benfica before an Oscar Cardozo penalty in the 73rd minute completed the turnaround.

Rio Ave and Academica battled out a goalless draw. The visitor played the final 10 minutes a man down after the dismissal of Flavio Ferreira, but the host could not capitalise.
