There comes the opening whistle and we are underway. Benfica take the kick-off.

17' Slow start to this encounter. We are yet to see a shot on the goal so far from any team. Porto has been keeping the ball but the attacks have not quite come with efficiency for both sides.

30' We are past the half-hour mark and we still are waiting for the first shot of the game. A few minutes back, Porto seemed to be getting a penalty but that did not happen and we have a game without shots so far.

Half-time!

It is still 0-0 but Porto really pushed the Benfica defence deep into this half. Four shots late before the break and a very good appeal for penalty which was denied. Although, Porto could not break the Benfica defence which keeps both teams without goal after 45 minutes.

We are back with the second half. Both the sides are looking to open their accounts for tonight.

64' Porto are dominating right now but they have still not been able to find that one goal. 7 shots on the goal for Porto as compared to Benfica's 2. Possesion numbers are also in the favour of Porto but the scoreline is still 0-0.

80' We are into the final 10 minutes now. Accuracy has been an issue for Porto in this game. Only two out of their seven shots have been on target while Benfica have got only two shots but one of them was within target. None of these shots have resulted in a goal for the two sides.

Full-time

We are done with five minutes of added time and no team has been able to disturb the scorers. It is 0-0 between Porto and Benfica tonight in Liga Portugal.

Both teams tried hard, Porto more so than Benfica, but in the end no one could score and we end with a goalless draw.

Porto's perfect record has been dented with this draw. They now have their first draw of the season after seven straight wins.
