Porto routs Farense to keep Sporting from clinching league

<p>PORTO, Portugal &mdash; Porto comfortably defeated second-to-last Farense 5-1 on Monday to keep Sporting Lisbon from winning its first Portuguese league title since 2002.</p>
<p>A draw or a Porto loss at home would have been enough to give Sporting its 19th league title. Only Porto and Benfica have won the competition since 2002.</p>
<p>The result moved Porto within five points of Sporting, which can still clinch the league with a win at home against relegation-threatened Boavista on Tuesday.</p>
<p>There will be two rounds left after the midweek games.</p>
<p>Mehdi Taremi score twice for Porto, which also got on the board with Toni Martínez, Luis Díaz and João Mário. </p>
<p>Farense played a man down after Bilel Aouacheria was sent off in the 30th minute at Estadio do Dragão in Porto.</p>
