LISBON, Portugal (AP)—Porto recovered from a goal down to win 2-1 at Beira Mar on Saturday, with goals from James Rodriguez and Hulk moving the champions clear atop the Portuguese league standings.

Chinese striker Xhang gave Beira Mar the lead in the 33rd minute, but Rodriguez equalized seven minutes later, and Hulk hit the winning goal in the 59th minute to give Porto a three-point lead over Benfica, which visits Maritimo on Sunday.

Porto and Benfica are undefeated in league play so far this season.

Also Saturday, U.S. defender Oguchi Onyewu scored the winning goal in the 22nd minute for Sporting Lisbon in a 1-0 home win against Nacional.

The result kept Sporting in touch, four points behind Porto.

On Friday, fourth-place Braga beat last-place Pacos Ferreira 5-2.
