Ronan pulled one back for Tondela with a penalty but Porto got a spot kick of their own deep in stoppage time which Fabio Vieria converted.
Porto moved up to 76 points from 31 games, leaving defending champions Benfica trailing in second place with 68 points from 31.

Meanwhile, Benfica's slim hopes of holding on to their Portuguese league crown were all but crushed after they conceded a late goal and were held to a 1-1 draw at Famalicao on Thursday.
