There were three Portuguese teams in action today in the Europa League and two out of the three look to be having there Europe season cut short after todays performances. Maritimo started off for the Portuguese squads on the road and took Bate Borisov to task but were unable to find the twine. The home side regrouped and netted three goals in the second half and head to Madeira with a commanding 3-0 win. FC Porto was up next on the road against Genk without the services of forward Hulk but this did not seem to bother the Dragons as they defeated the home side 3-0 on goals from Falcao, Walter and Belluschi. The big shocker of the day was Sporting who started their first leg at home and were upset by soccer minnows Brondby 2-0 and now will need to head to Denmark looking for some offensive output, something that has been lacking this season.
