(GSM) – Benfica restored their advantage over Sporting Braga in the Portuguese league with a 0-1 win at Nacional on Sunday.

After Braga’s 1-0 win over Rio Ave a day earlier, Benfica needed a win as well to maintain their three-points advantage over their nearest rivals.

The Lisbon outfit played away to Nacional in the city of Funchal, and a 64th-minute goal from Oscar Cardozo was enough to secure the victory and three valuable points.

Sporting Lisbon remain on course for a Europa League spot following a 3-1 win over Vitoria Guimaraes. Leandro Grimi and Liedson gave the hosts a 2-0 lead within nine minutes, and Carlos Saleiro added a third with just 20 minutes played.

Valdomiro pulled one back for Vitoria in the 66th minute but Sporting held on to their lead to successfully defend their fourth place.
