Benfica women capture Super Cup for second year running

Benfica Women captured their second straight Portuguese Super Cup after defeating Sporting on penalties after the two clubs played to a 1-1 draw. The outcome was the same as last season when the two cross town rivals faced off in a match up that saw Benfica also defeat Sporting in additional extra time 4-1.

The Benfica women have now captured three of the last four competitions and get set to kick off their league campaign this weekend as they look to capture their fourth straight league title. Benfica's top rivals for the crown this season will be Sporting, Braga and Famalicao. The four clubs have finished one, two, three and four the past three seasons.
