2-0! The top spot in the Portuguese Super League has changed hands again: Sporting CP is on top, 4 points behind Mourinho’s top three, and Mourinho is expected to make a comeback

In the early morning of November 1, the first match was played in the 10th round of the Portuguese Super League. As a result, Sporting CP, playing at home, defeated Aihuaca 2-0 and successfully scored 3 points. After this game, Sporting CP overtook Porto and reached the top of the Portuguese Super League.

Due to the huge gap in strength between the two teams, this game was basically one-sided. Sporting CP completely dominated the situation on the field, and their offense continued to flow into the opponent's penalty area like a tide. Unfortunately, Sporting CP failed to seize the opportunity in the first 45 minutes.

Fortunately in the second half, Sporting CP finally broke the deadlock in the 68th minute with Ioannidis' goal. Just 6 minutes later, Goncalves scored a world wave, expanding the score to 2-0, and killing the suspense of the outcome of the game in advance. In the end, Sporting CP accepted the planned 3 points.

After this game, the top spot in the Portuguese Super League changed hands again. With the advantage of goal difference, Sporting CP defeated Porto, who had one game in hand, to rank first. Since Porto will face Braga at home in this round, which is also one of the top Portuguese teams, Porto may not lose points. If Porto loses to their opponents, Sporting CP will secure the top spot.

‍ As for Benfica, they are currently ranked third and will play against Guimarães as a guest this round. In the previous three seasons, Guimarães ranked in the top six. This season their form has declined slightly, but their strength still cannot be underestimated. As of now, Guimarães remains unbeaten with 2 wins and 2 draws at home. This time against Benfica, they are likely to suffer their first home defeat of the season.

As we all know, the Portuguese Super League has always been a situation where the top three are competing for the championship. Since Benfica is currently 4 points behind the top spot, Mourinho is now under great pressure. In the next away game against Guimarães, Mourinho is definitely determined to win. From the current point of view, Benfica has not fallen behind, and Mourinho still retains hope of a comeback. Although Benfica's performance in the Champions League is sluggish, they are unbeaten in the Portuguese Super League with 6 wins and 3 draws. Especially in the previous away game against Porto, Benfica finally took away 1 point. This is the first time Porto has lost points in the Portuguese Super League this season. Obviously, even if Benfica is temporarily behind, they are still strong enough to compete with Porto and Sporting CP. Next, as long as Benfica does a good job and doesn't lose points easily, there is definitely hope for a counterattack!
