Benfica's winning streak ends with derby loss to FC Porto

Overview

Benfica’s dominant start to the 2026/27 Liga Portugal season met a significant setback in a Primeira Liga derby against FC Porto. The 3-1 defeat ended Benfica’s eight-match winning streak across all competitions.

FC Porto secured their seventh consecutive victory, maintaining a perfect league record with 21 points. This result extended Porto’s lead at the top of the table to five points over second-placed Benfica.

In the match, Gabri Veiga opened the scoring for Porto in the 31st minute. Benfica’s momentum was further hindered when Clément Lenglet received a direct red card. While Alexander Bah managed to equalize for Benfica in the 51st minute, Viktor Froholt restored Porto’s lead just three minutes later. Hwang In-beom eventually sealed the victory for Porto with a strike in the 60th minute, marking his first goal for the club on his birthday.

The fixture also saw the return of 18-year-old Oskar Pietuszewski from a muscle injury, who entered the match in the 85th minute. Other Polish players, Jakub Kiwior and Jan Bednarek, were also included in the squad. Following the match, Porto legend Pepe commented on the necessity of professionalism for young talents such as Pietuszewski.
