Madeira, Portugal (My Sportsbook) - Marcelo Lipatin scored in the 58th minute as Nacional stunned previously unbeaten FC Porto, 1-0, on Friday. Nacional, which climbed to ninth with the win, had just three victories on the season entering the match. But Lipatin scored his fourth goal of the season - out of just 10 Nacional has - and his side held on in the final minutes despite an 88th minute red card to Felipe Lopes. FC Porto, which was drawn against Schalke for the Champions League round of 32 on Friday, was unbeaten in its first 13 league matches - including 11 wins. FC Porto still holds a comfortable seven-point lead over Benfica, which topped Amadora 3-0 on Thursday.
