FC Porto were crowned Portuguese champions for the first time since 2022 after a 1-0 victory over Alverca on Saturday.
The win moved Porto nine points clear of Benfica, who were held to a 2-2 draw by Famalicao, confirming the title with two matches to spare.

The breakthrough came in the 40th minute when Jan Bednarek rose highest to head home from a corner, a goal that ultimately secured both the match and the title.
Porto maintained control for the remainder of the contest, managing the game effectively to protect their lead and deliver a title-clinching result.
Farioli delivers in debut season
The triumph marks a standout debut campaign for manager Francesco Farioli, who secures the first major trophy of his coaching career. Porto now move to 31 league titles, extending their status among Portugal’s most successful clubs.
Benfica slip ends title race
Elsewhere, Jose Mourinho’s Benfica relinquished control of their match after going two goals ahead, with Nicolas Otamendi sent off early in the second half.

Porto’s title win caps a consistent campaign, with key contributions across the squad, including Nigerian internationals Zaidu Sanusi and Terem Moffi, who played roles during the season run-in.
