LISBON, Portugal — Porto defeated Benfica 2-0 in an early-season meeting of the Portuguese rivals on Saturday.

Forward José Luis opened the scoring for the visitors with a close-range flick after Benfica's defenders failed to clear a corner in the 22nd minute at the Stadium of Light.

Moussa Marega then sealed victory following an 86th-minute counterattack.

The result left Porto, Benfica and Famalicao tied at the top of the league with six points.

Promoted Famalicao can reach nine points with a win at Guimarães on Sunday.
