Lisbon (Portugal), May 13: Portuguese champion FC Porto wrapped up its season with a 5-2 rout at Rio Ave on the final day of league play on Saturday.



Brazilian striker Kleber scored a hat trick after Djalma and James Rodriguez had opened for Porto.

Runner-up Benfica won 3-1 at Setubal, while fellow Champions League-bound Braga fell at fourth-place Sporting Lisbon 3-2.

Benfica's Oscar Cardozo and Braga's Lima finished as the league's joint top scorers with 20 goals each.

Sporting and Maritimo will play in the Europa League next season.

At the other end of the table, Feirense will join the already-relegated Leiria in the second division next season after its 3-2 loss to Nacional.
