After a 1-1 in the first leg, a narrow 3-2 victory resulted in the second leg. This made the entry into the final game perfect.
Braga may not have good memories of the last duel in the Taca de Portugal with Benfica. = = = Benfica = = = Braga lost to Benfica in the final of the previous season. This year we have to settle the old bill.
In the domestic league, Braga finished fourth this season. The most recent achievements were anything but convincing. Only one of the last six competitive games was won. This success came after a narrow 2-1 draw against Moreirense on the penultimate day. Furthermore, three draws and two defeats had to be accepted. The offensive scored 53 goals and 33 goals were conceded on the other side. Fourth place means qualifying for the Europa League.

Benfica barely escaped embarrassment in the first round of the trophy. Against the outsider União Sport Clube Paredes a narrow 1-0 victory jumped out after 90 sad minutes. The second match day was then very sovereign against UD Vilafranquense and led to a clear 5-0 victory in the end. In the final of the eighteen, Benfica did not let the butter be removed from the bread and prevailed against CF Estrela 4-0. The quarter-final brought a clear 3-0 victory against Belenenses. In the semi-finals two victories against Estoril resulted (3:1, 2:0). The way to the final was very confidently contested. This performance must now also be followed up against Braga.
