Benfica fans put on a spectacular show ahead of Sunday night's Lisbon derby against Sporting.

Supporters inside the Estádio da Luz lit up the stadium with a colourful motif before the showdown against their rivals.

They spelt out the words 'Inferno Luz', as well as held up banners in the stands, in a dazzling display.

The pre-match show seemed to inspire the home side as Benfica ran out 2-1 winners to tighten their grip at the top of the Portuguese Primeira Liga table.

Eduardo Salvio opened the scoring before the break when he headed past Rui Patricio to put Benfica ahead.

They doubled their lead after the interval when Raul Jiminez stooped to head in a second goal.

Sporting pulled one back through Dutch striker Bas Dost to ensure a nervy finish, but Benfica held on to claim bragging rights.
