Portuguese champions FC Porto moved to the top of the Liga Sagres, at least for a day, as result of a 1-3 victory at Naval 1º de Maio.

New Colombian signing Radamel Falcao, who joined Porto from Argentinian giants River Plate, put the away side ahead after just eight minutes.

Silvestre Varela doubled the advantage one minute after the hour, but an own goal from Rolando restored the original gap in minute 75.

Argentinian forward Ernesto Farias made it 1-3 two minutes later, to take away any doubts the visiting side may still have had.

Porto are currently first with seven points from three games, but Sporting Braga will aim to jump back to the top facing Belenenses on Sunday.
