The matches of the fifth round of the 2026/27 edition of Portuguese League 1 football took place with an average effective playing time of 59.06 minutes, the highest value ever recorded since comparative records began.

This value surpasses all previous records since the 2012/2013 season, indicating a significant improvement in the fluidity of the games during this specific round of the Portuguese championship.

The Portuguese League 1 has been implementing measures to reduce stoppages during matches, and the results of this fifth round demonstrate that these initiatives are producing practical effects in increasing the time actually played.

With 32 wins in 40 games, Del Valle's 2026 team is pointed out as the best team in the club's history
