Yesterday's semifinal:

Vitoria Setubal - Boavista Porto 2:1

---

I do not expect Trapattoni to play his first line-up against our opponent from 2nd division today. I think we will for example see the likes of Moreira and João Pereira from the start. Yet we shouldn't underestimate Estrela Amadora, but IMO we stand a good chance to reach the final and hopefully win the cup in Jamor again this season.
Força Benfica!

Benfica has to win today. There will be no excuse for a lose... We must retain the Taca.

Anyway, in case of defeat, it would be better to lose against Estrela than against Rachão's Setúbal!

 

[Inácio]

we will win, we wont lose against anyone, right until the end of the season its gonna be win, win, win

 

[O Glorioso]

3-0 :d

 

[Bier]

soooo boring

However, 3:0 win for Benfica. Goals were scored by Nuno Gomes, Nuno Assis and again Nuno Gomes. Moreira had a few good saves. Andre Luis made his debut and appears to me to be a good one (as far as one can rate this from such a game).
I was all but impressed by the game itself, still satisfied with the result.
Força Benfica ... Setubal still to come!

Congratulations... you finally beat a team without super help from the reff or pks to save ya.

Just kidding... maybe...

Should be an interesting final; the way things are this season it could go either way.

 

[Inácio]

i realised we were going for an easy win by the time i saw us playing slow, slower and motionless

though i must confess that in the 2nd half when we accelerated i did fear estrela might do a comeback :

against setubal we will win, win, win

 

[Pila]

Beating Estrela was abn after thought. Setubal will be tougher, but playing at Jamor is essentially playing home.

Good game by Giovanni, Nuno and miguel.
