Benfica remain on course for another Portuguese league title following a resounding 5-0 win over SC Olhanense last night.

Angel Di Maria, who is attracting interest from a number of big clubs, bagged the second before Cardoza scored twice in two minutes to complete his hattrick.

Pablo Aimar completed the route late on to leave Benfica on 73 points, nine points ahead of second place Braga who play Naval tofday in a game they have to win.
