Stalemate in Madeira
The champions would have gone top of the table with a win, but could not breach the home side's defence in a stalemate at the Barreiros stadium in Funchal, Madeira. Boavista have now beaten Marítimo only twice in ten matches.
Level pegging with Sporting
The result moved Jaime Pacheco's side level on points with leaders Sporting Clube de Portugal, whose game in hand is at Varzim SC tomorrow. Marítimo stay in sixth place.
