Fabio Vieira picked up the player of the match award as Porto defeated Casa Pia to keep up their hopes of Europa League qualification.
The midfielder shone throughout the contest as Rodrigo Mora got the only goal of the game to keep Porto fourth in the table, level on points with Braga who occupy the Europa League spot. Fabio has now played 30 times in his second spell at the club, scoring five times including three in his last six outings.

In La Liga, Albert Sambi Lokonga played 66 minutes in Sevilla's narrow 1-0 loss at Valencia, on what was his 21st game of his loan spell.
The Belgian midfielder was starting his third game in a row and was replaced by Saul Niguez as Javi Guerra netted the only goal of the game for the hosts. That leaves the Seville side 14th in the table, seven points above the relegation zone.
Over in Brazil, Marquinhos came on in the 85th minute as Cruzeiro drew 1-1 with Sao Paulo. They now have a win, a draw and a defeat in their opening three games of the Serie A campaign. Meanwhile, Maldini Kacurri was an unused substitute in Bromely's 5-0 defeat League Two leaders Port Vale.
In the women's game, Laura Weinroither came on as a late substitute in Manchester City's 2-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester United, to end their hopes of winning silverware this season.
Laura played the final eight minutes but couldn't help the hosts come back from first-half goals from Celin Bizet and Grace Clinton as United reached their third final in succession.
