LISBON (Reuters) - Islam Slimani scored twice in the first half to set Sporting on the way to a 3-1 win at Porto which kept the Portuguese title race alive on Saturday.

Sporting's win, which heaped on the misery for their third-placed opponents, kept the Lions two points behind leaders Benfica, their neighbours who beat Vitoria Guimaraes 1-0 on Friday, with two matches each to play.
