Haris Seferovic opened the scoring after 16 minutes. Joao Felix doubled the lead seven minutes later and Rafa Silva added a third before half time.

Seferovic added his second in the 56th minute. Mid-table Santa Clara, from the Azores, replied with a goal by Cesar three minutes later.

Porto beat Sporting 2-1.

At the final whistle in Lisbon, Benfica fans began to celebrate the title with a concert of air horns in the streets.
