The home side brought a five-match winless streak into the contest against the defending champions, but jumped out to a 2-0 lead at halftime after a first- half brace from Claudio.

Sporting Lisbon remained in the top four as American Oguchi Onyewu scored both goals in a 2-0 victory against Beira Mar, while Olhanense came from two goals down against Setubal to snatch a 3-2 win, with two goals coming from Jean-Paul Yontcha.

The weekend began with Guimaraes topping Nacional, 1-0, as Edgar's 78th-minute penalty kick proved to be the difference.

The other match on Saturday saw Rio Ave and Academica play to a 0-0 draw, while Sunday's action included a 4-2 win for Pacos Ferreira at Uniao Leiria as both Manuel Jose Vieira and Michel each scored two goals apiece.
