Italian coach Francesco Farioli has officially taken FC Porto to victory in the Primeira Liga<\/a> at the age of 37, beating Jose Mourinho\u2019s Benfica.<\/p>\n

This evening\u2019s 1-0 victory over Alverca was enough to open up the nine-point gap at the top of the table, after Benfica were held to a 2-2 draw by Famalicao.<\/p>\n

With only two rounds to go, it means they are impossible to catch and FC Porto can celebrate the title four years after their most recent success.<\/p>\n
