PORTO - Champions Porto won for the first time in three games in the Portuguese premier league with a 2-0 victory over Pacos Ferreira 2-0 on Friday.

The home win gave Porto, chasing a fourth consecutive title, a welcome morale boost before they visit Arsenal in the Champions League Group G game on Tuesday.

Porto, who drew their two previous games, are third with eight points from four matches.

Nacional Madeira, who host Estrela Amadora on Sunday, and Sporting, who meet travel to their rival Benfica on Saturday, top the standings with nine points and one game less.
