LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Rio Ave drew 1-1 at Moreirense to remain undefeated and take an overnight share of the Portuguese league lead on Saturday.

Diego Lopes scored for Rio Ave in the 27th minute, only for Vitor Gomes to level for Moreirense in the 48th.

Rio Ave moved level with Benfica after the defending champions routed Setubal 5-0 on Friday.

Either FC Porto or Guimaraes can move ahead of the pair of pacesetters with a win. Both teams meet on Sunday after having won all three games this season.

Also, Sporting Lisbon drew 1-1 with Belenenses, while Arouca beat Braga 1-0.

Sporting's draw left it four points adrift of Rio Ave and Benfica.
