Zaidu Sanusi scored in added time on Saturday as Porto clinched their 30th Portuguese league title with a 1-0 victory away to Benfica, Megasportsarena.com reports.
The result also guarantees that last year’s champions Sporting will finish second, and qualify for the Champions League group stage, with Benfica third.
Nigerian left-back Zaidu struck on a counter-attack minutes into stoppage time to put Porto nine points ahead with one round of games to play.
The Nigerian broke down and cried after the title-winning goal secured their 30th Primera Liga trophy.
Before their first league defeat this season, at Braga two weeks ago, Porto, under coach Sergio Conceicao, set a new Portuguese league unbeaten record of 58 games.
Porto will be able to crown their season with a double, when they face Tondela, 16th in the league, in the Portuguese Cup final on May 22.
