Benfica defeated Estoril 3-0 at home in the 15th round of the league.

Bruno Lage promised his players would give the fans an early Christmas present. However, Benfica struggled early on. Trubin made a crucial save to deny João Carvalho a long-range goal and prevent an early deficit.

Benfica now lead the Portugal 1, holding a one-point advantage over Sporting and FC Porto. This sets the stage for a crucial derby against Sporting at Estádio José Alvalade just before Christmas.
