Porto won the 18th Portuguese Cup in their history, beating Tondela 3-1. The Blue and Whites achieved a double – the ninth in their history – after winning the League.
In a match played at a moderate pace, the White-Blues took advantage of the reckless play of center Marcelo Alves, who played with a hand in the penalty area, and opened the scoring.
The application was analyzed by VAR and viewed by the referee Rui Costa on a video monitor, after which the Porto referee indicated the penalty mark. Taremi was in charge of marking and signed the ninth penalty this season in the service of the Dragons. The score changed, but the game remained calm …
In the second half, the Dragons showed more intensity and increased Vitigny’s lead in a game involving Pepe.
The White-Blues occupied more time in attacking midfield and, under the onslaught of Pepe, earned another penalty due to the absence of Sagyan. Taremi was again present at the penalty mark, but this time the Iranian hit the post.
In one of Tondela’s few dangerous plays, a tense cross from Salvador Agra hit Neto Borges’ head, a ruthless blow to Marquesin.
It was bet that the match would become more emotional, but Porto quickly reacted to resistance and Taremi left the fans more relaxed by closing the scoring after a beautiful balloon pass from Otavio.
The Jamor party was all blue and white…
