Primeira Liga Wrap: Benfica beat Nacional

Edgar Abreu struck a first-minute goal to stun the visitors to the Estadio da Madeira, but Jorge Jesus' men steadied the ship to win 2-1.

Eduardo Salvio equalised six minutes later for Benfica, before Jonas' 19th-minute strike put them ahead for good as they earned their eighth win in 10 league matches.

Benfica were momentarily second in the table after Vitoria Guimaraes' win earlier on the weekend, but they reclaimed top spot after matchday 10.

Substitute Oliver Torres salvaged a point for Julen Lopetegui's side, scoring in the fourth minute of additional time after coming on in the 82nd minute.

Earlier, Kuca's first-half goal and Toze's penalty saw Estoril overturn a deficit, created when Yacine Brahimi opened the scoring for Porto in the 20th minute.
