(Reuters) - FC Porto kept the pressure on Portuguese leaders Benfica with a 1-0 win over Sporting Braga on Thursday, Cristian Tello's second-half goal giving the visitors the win.

Both sides entered the game on the back of five consecutive league wins and there was nothing to separate them in a tight first half that saw Porto dominate possession but fail to make it count.
