Match ends, Sporting Lisbon 0, Benfica 1.

Kostas Mitroglou scored the only goal as Benfica won 1-0 at derby rivals Sporting Lisbon to take over at the top of the Portuguese League.
The on-loan Fulham striker slotted home his 17th goal of the season after a 20th-minute ricochet fell at his feet.
Sporting's first home league defeat since May 2014 saw them go two points behind in the title race.
Mitroglou's former Fulham team-mate Bryan Ruiz missed two second-half chances to equalise.
Costa Rica international Ruiz twice failed to convert low crosses with his second miss, 18 minutes from the end, defying belief as he skied over an open goal.
Sporting captain Adrien Silva was sent off after being substituted for protesting against the referee's decision not to send off Benfica teenager Renato Sanches for a terrible challenge on Ruiz.
Defending champions Benfica have now won 11 of their last 12 league games.
