Overview
- Benfica recovered from 2-0 down through Andreas Schjelderup and an 88th-minute Leandro Barreiro equaliser to earn a draw at Estádio da Luz.
- Jose Mourinho was dismissed in stoppage time after officials said he kicked a ball toward Porto’s bench, a claim he rejected by saying he intended to punt it into the stands for a fan.
- Mourinho alleged Porto assistant Luis ‘Lucho’ Gonzalez called him a “traitor” 50 times during the confrontation; Gonzalez was also sent off.
- The finale descended into disorder, with reports of a projectile striking Porto’s Pepê and Benfica’s Nicolás Otamendi receiving a red card from the bench, as Mourinho made a provocative gesture while exiting.
- Porto stay top of Liga Portugal, Sporting remain four points back, and Benfica sit seven off the pace, with Mourinho calling a late charge difficult though mathematically possible.
