SuperLiga

After almost 11 years, the longest "drought" period in Benfica's history comes to an end. It was an awekward season, mainly because of the inconsistency of the chronically title candidates. Never a team had won the championship with such a small amount of points, since victory is equivalent to three points. The 65 points of Benfica would only be sufficient to manage a 4th place in the year before and, considering a percentage of points awarded, their score of 64% wouldn't be enough to place them in first or second place in any other of the previous Portuguese championships. Inconsistency was present in Benfica's season, but their main rivals were no better. In the upper part o the table the Sporting de Braga's season is noteworthy, that was fighting for the title 4 games before the end of the season.
