Summary
Porto's junior side failed to break down Rio Ave in a poor display that yielded only three shots on target, allowing Sporting to seize the initiative elsewhere. Benfica's early lead through Tomás Almeida in the first minute proved fleeting when Mafra equalised in stoppage time, while Sporting made the most of the slip-ups with a 1-0 win at Farense, Victor Bastianele scoring before the half-hour to claim top spot in their series.
