By Simon Curtis LISBON, April 11 (Reuters) - Portuguese title rivals Benfica and Porto both won convincingly to leave the Lisbon club three points clear at the top of the Primeira Liga on Saturday. Benfica raced into a three-goal lead in a pulsating first 18 minutes against Academica on the way to a 5-1 victory at the Estádio da Luz while Porto won 3-1 away to Rio Ave. Centre back Jardel headed Benfica in front from Pizzi's cross and Jonas immediately followed suit from a cross from the left from André Almeida. Lima made it 3-0 from the penalty spot after the Brazilian had been fouled by Fernando Alexandre. A fantastic fourth goal in the 53rd minute sealed it for Benfica when Jonas started and finished a passing move featuring Nicolas Gaitan and André Almeida.
