With the outstanding performance of forward Victor Djekelays, Portugal Sports successfully defended the Portuguese League championship by winning the away game by defeating Guimaraes 2-0, which is also their second consecutive win of the honor.

Portugal Sports successfully defended the Portuguese League champion

into the last round of the season, with Portuguese Sports and Benfica together having 79 points. Among them, defending champion Portugal Sports has an advantage in their mutual match results (1 win and 1 draw) and goal difference. Benfica travels to Braga with the goal of winning, while also hoping that Portugal Sports will lose points in the same game. However, they failed to even meet this necessary condition.

At the Braga Municipal Stadium, Braga unexpectedly tied Benfica with a score of 1-1. Meanwhile, Dzekeles and Pedro Gonsalves helped Portugal win 2-0. The Portuguese League title has been confirmed to belong to this team from Lisbon.

After head coach Ruben Amorin left office in November 2024, Portugal Sports' path to defending its title was once difficult. However, after some changes in the coach's bench, Portugal Sports regained its pace under head coach Rui Jorge Borges, winning nine victories (2 draws) in the last 11 games at the end of the season.

This is the second consecutive time that Portuguese Sports has won the Portuguese League championship and the 21st league championship in their team's history. Former head coach Amorin has made great efforts to build this team and has made great contributions. In 2021, the coach who once coached Manchester United led Portuguese Styre Keres to the club, and the Swedish player scored 53 goals in 51 games he played for Portugal Sports this season.

After winning the Portuguese League, Portuguese Sports and Benfica will prepare to face each other again in the Portuguese Cup final. Previously, the two teams met in the Portuguese League Cup final, when Benfica won the championship.

For Dzekelish, that might be his last game in Portugal Sports, as major European clubs are eager to get the service of the Swedish player. “We want to win that game, but now we just want to celebrate the championship,” Dzekelish said of the Portuguese Cup final.
