Alan Varela has become the first player in Portuguese football history to score and assist for his team in the same match.

In Sunday's match against Benfica, Varela scored a stunning goal that saw him score and assist in the same game for the first time in his career.

The forward was on target early in the second half when he volleyed home from close range after a through ball from teammate Rui Patrício.

His assist came moments later as he found space on the right flank and played a beautiful cross into the box, which was met by substitute Diogo Jota who slotted home with ease.

Varela's performance was a reminder of why he is considered one of the best players in Portugal,Serie A Stadium and his contribution to the match helped his side secure a crucial victory over their arch-rivals.

With the win, Porto moved up to third place in the league table and remain in contention for a top-four finish this season.

It will be interesting to see if Varela can continue his impressive form and help his team achieve their goals this season.
