Benfica ended a certainly unforgettable season with the conquest of yet another title in women's football. One week after the national champions' party, the eagles defeated Racing Power by 4-1, this Sunday, collecting the second Portuguese Cup of their history, in a final played at the Jamor National Stadium - one week before the final between Sporting and FC Porto in men's football. After a start in which the Seixal emblem even had the best opportunities, the Luz emblem scored against the current of the game, at 25 minutes, when Marie Alidou appeared in the heart of the area to correspond accurately to Andreia Faria's pass, provoking the first reasons for celebration in Jamor. Even before the break, Racing Power left their mark on the game and, following a corner kick taken by Beatriz Rodrigues, Gerda Konst headed into the back of the net, leaving João Marques celebrating the tie. Already in the second half, Benfica put themselves back in front of the scoreboard, at 59 minutes, in a penalty converted by Carole Costa. Marie Alidou was brought down in the penalty area by Babi and, after a VAR alert, Catarina Campos would end up communicating the decision of maximum punishment for Filipa Patão's team. The final 3-1 came from the feet of Lúcia Alves who, at 69 minutes, took advantage of a 'sugary' pass from Kika Nazareth to sentence the doubts, pointing to the sky, in tears, after the recent death of her grandfather. Already in stoppage time, the newly entered Lara Martins still put the ball in the back of the net, but the goal was disallowed, for Andreia Faria's offside before the assist. The 4-1, that, came soon after, in a counterattack finished by Kika Nazareth. Thus, Benfica adds the Portuguese football championship to the championship, the Super Cup and the League Cup, in a certainly unforgettable full, in addition to the journey to the 'quarters' of the Champions League.
