Portugal the Cup

The Cup. The final was a Lisbon derby – Benfica vs Belenenses. Some hope for faded club to come back, but it was mostly a dream, placed against harsh reality. Benfica won 2-0.

Belenenses lost the final – by now, they were just modest team, mostly trying to keep place in the top league. Standing from left: Hélder, Jaime, Sambinha, Jorge Martins, Paulo Monteiro, Joel Ademar. First row: Artur Fonte, «Djão», Sobrinho, Kostov.

A title could be better, but still Benfica ended the season with a trophy.
