The victory equalled the five in Portugal chalked up by retired Finnish great Markku Alen.

M-Sport's Ott Tanak, who had led on Saturday until he damaged his car's rear suspension, won the final power stage for a five-point bonus, with Neuville collecting four after finishing second.

Four-times world champion Ogier was fifth in the stage and took only one additional point. The Frenchman now has 128 points to Neuville's 106.
