Primeira Liga Wrap: Benfica cement top spot

Joao Pedro fired the mid-table side into a half-time lead with a well-taken 20-yard effort.

However, Jorge Jesus' men kept their composure and turned the game on its head after the interval through Luisao and Eliseu, leaving Jonas to make sure of the points by tapping in Eduardo Salvio's cross 17 minutes from time.

Another half-time turnaround saw Tiago Rodrigues' opener cancelled out by Pedro Santos, Ruben Micael and Salvador Agra efforts in the second half, moving Braga to within a point of the top three.
