WEB Benfica continued their imperious march towards the Primeira Liga title with a resounding 2-0 victory over Boavista at the Estádio da Luz on Friday. The Lisbon giants extended their advantage atop the standings to eight points, asserting their dominance over the league.
The match got off to a lively start, with both teams trading blows in search of an early breakthrough.

The Portuguese striker latched onto a delightful through ball from Enzo Fernández and slotted home with aplomb, giving Boavista goalkeeper Rafael Bracali no chance.
The Eagles continued to press for more goals, and their efforts paid off just before the hour mark. Petar Musa, who had come on as a substitute for David Neres, rose highest to meet a pinpoint cross from Florentino Luís and headed home from close range.
