Its where the industry is based. Lisbon and algarve is just tourism, Alentejo just a big land with few people (agriculture).

Nacional (Madeira Island) and Santa Clara (Azores Islands) are back to I Liga, Santa Clara after just 1 year, Nacional after 3 years.
AVS (a plastic club not far from Lisbon bought, transfered to another city and then transfered again to the north and renamed to sound like Aves, a defunct club) and Marítimo (also from Madeira) will fight for play off position (3rd place of II Liga).

Boavista was winning at Porto but left with a loss in injury time.

Porto is 3rd and only needs a draw at Braga in final match.
Boavista isn't safe from facing the relegation playoff.

14 Boavista 31
15 Estrela Amadora 30
---------
16 Portimonense 29 (play off position)
------
17 Vizela 25 (relegated)
18 Chaves 23 (relegated)

Braga-Porto
Boavista-Vizela
Estrela-Gil Vicente
Farense-Portimonense

Another one bites the dust - Vitoria SC (aka Vitoria Guimaraes) no longer has Alvaro Pacheco as their head coach. He departs to join Vasco da Gama in Brazil. This marks the 17th coach in the past 10 seasons. The club has a terrible record managing their coaches.

At 90+10, after the other matches have ended, Boavista got a penalty that they scored and tied the game 2-2 against the already relegated Vizela and sent Portimonense to relegation playoffs.
Portimonense won 3-1 the Algarve derby against Farense (whose fans celebrated Boavista late goal), and Estrela beated Gil Vicente (match ended with fight between managers of both clubs).

Lets see if Boavista gets a license for next season since their players aren't getting paid since begging of the season but in Portugal everything is possible.
