Porto 3-0 Maritimo

04 May 2009 - 12:27

FC Porto continued their reign at top after beating Maritimo comfortably at the Dragao. Porto are six points clear of a second placed Sporting.

  • Confirmed Arsenal line-up vs Hull City, Christos Tzolis starts
  • Xabi Alonso confirms 20yo Chelsea star out for weeks
  • Portugese midfielder, Raul Miereles, gave the champions the lead by a low driven grounder, which should have been saved by Marcos. This attempt came right after a thunderous Bruno Alves shot hit the post.



    Athough the half-time score was 1-0, Porto enjoyed the majority of the game, and they doubled the lead in the 64th minute. Cristian Rodriguez curled a free-kick in which Rolando guided into the net with his head.



    Tomas Costa added anothe in the 83rd minute in a swift counter-attack move.



    Porto have 63 points in 27 matches and could win their fourth successive title if they can get past Nacional at the Dragao in the next match.
