Sporting Lisbon defended their Portuguese crown on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Guimaraes to hold off rivals Benfica on the final day of the Primeira Liga season. Both Sporting and Benfica were level on points going into their last match after a tense 1-1 derby draw last weekend left the title race on a knife edge. Benfica needed to better Sporting's result to triumph but drew 1-1 at Braga, although even a victory would not have been enough as Rui Borges' side triumphed and had the superior head-to-head.
