What a finish!

Porto’s Kelvin scored this wonderful goal in the 91st minute Saturday to beat Benfica 2-1 and unseat them at the top of the Primeira Liga with just one more match to play. It may very well have decided the title, as Porto (still undefeated in league play) can clinch with a win next weekend.

As the goal was struck, Benfica coach Jorge Jesus fell to his knees, knowing his team may have just blown the championship. Poor Benfica, but hey, at least they can grab some silverware on Wednesday, when they play Chelsea in the Europa League final (2p ET on FOX Soccer)

Moutinho’s strike hands Porto narrow win over Malaga

A second-half goal from Joao Moutinho gave Porto a narrow 1-0 win over Malaga ahead of the return leg in Spain.

Porto controlled the match in the first half, but Malaga’s defense proved tough until Alex Sandro’s pinpoint pass found Moutinho in the box and the Portuguese slotted home. Replays however showed that the goal appeared tto be scored in offside position.

Porto is now in the driver’s seat, while Malaga lost for the first time in their debut Champions League season.

What do you think? Was the goal offsides or too close to call?

Portugal’s version of the “Clasico” takes place between Porto and Benfica. And this weekend, the two teams made sure the tie lived up to its top billing, offering us four goals all of which were scored in the first 17 minutes!

The best of the bunch? Benfica’s Nemanja Matic’s stunning volley to tie it at 1-1 in the 10th minute, just two minutes after Porto went ahead. The game would end in a 2-2 draw.

Talk about spooky stuff.

During Porto’s Champions League victory against PSG earlier this month, cameras recorded James Rodriguez’s goal celebration. Strangely enough, a ghost (yes, a ghost) was captured right in the middle of the festivities.

Just in time for Halloween, right?
