An own-goal by Mouhamadou-Naby Sarr rescued Porto’s unbeaten record this season as they grabbed a 1-1 draw at Sporting Lisbon in Friday’s Classico.
The Sporting defender attempted to intercept Danilo’s cross but stabbed the ball into his own net to give Porto their goal in the 56th minute at the Alvalade stadium.
Sporting had taken a second-minute lead when Jonathan Silva met Andre Carillo’s cross to head home.
Sporting were unlucky not to get a winner when Diego Capel crashed a 25-yard volley against the underside of the bar in an end-to-end second half.
Porto, under their new coach, Julen Lopetegui, are unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions this season.
The champions, Benfica, lead the Primeira Liga with 13 points, one ahead of Porto with Sporting on 10.
