Primeira Liga Wrap: Porto, Benfica both win

Paulo Fonseca's side produced a solid second-half display to earn all three points after finding themselves level at the break in Vila do Conde.

Maicon had put Porto ahead in the sixth minute only for Edimar Fraga to equalise midway through the half.

But Porto flew out of the blocks after the interval and restored their lead as top scorer Jackson Martinez hit his 11th league goal of the season six minutes into the second period. 

Femi Balogun opened the scoring after seven minutes, but Lima soon levelled for Jorge Jesus' side. 

Jesus introduced Miralem Sulejmani at the break and the Serbian striker made an immediate impact as he scored in the second minute of the half to condemn Olhanense to their fourth straight league defeat. 

In Sunday's other fixture, Vitoria Guimaraes extended their unbeaten league run to three games with a comfortable 2-0 victory over third-bottom Arouca.
