Benfica traveled to Madeira to take on Nacional today in a rescheduled Week 8 contest, which brought all the teams games played in the league leveled to 14 a piece. Benfica prevailed with a 2-0 victory behind a pair of Angel di Maria second half goals.
With the result Benfica now sit in second spot in the league just one point behind Sporting for the league lead and one point ahead of third place FC Porto. Benfica and Sporting go head to head December 29 at the Estadio Alvalade and the outcome will see who holds the league lead going into the new year.
Benfica have taken advantage of both Sporting and FC Porto's struggles of late to close the gap on top spot a stretch that has seen the club win eight of ten league games while playing the other two to draws.
