Porto climbs back on top with victory over Braga

In conjunction with their 2-0 victory over Braga and both Benfica and Sporting playing to a draw, the Dragões climb back on top of the Portuguese Liga.

Twenty minutes into the match Cristian Rodríguez displayed brilliant control before volleying in the ball from close range to give the azuis e brancos the 1-0 lead. Only eleven minutes later Albicelestes capped Lisandro López increased the lead as he collected Hulk's remarkably well weighted long provision before professionally dispatching the ball into the net.

Porto returns to action next Sunday against Belenenses.
