Benfica headed to their 39th Taca de Portugal Final

Benfica stamped their pass to the Taca de Portugal final on May 25, 2025, at the Jamor, where they will face cross-town rivals Sporting. Benfica will be looking to capture their 27th title and first since the 2016-17 season.

Benfica easily handled fourth division side Tirsense in the two leg affair, winning 9-0 on aggregate with scores of 5-0 and 4-0 in the contest. Benfica decided to rest just about all their starters for the second leg, which is important with four games left in the season and the club battling to capture the Portuguese title.

Hats off to Tirsense for making the semi-finals, but they were no match for Benfica, who totally outclassed them in the tie. Tirsense can take solace in the fact that they will receive over €50,000 for making the semi-final stage of the competition, which will go a long way towards the club's finances.

Benfica and Sporting will meet in their second consecutive competition final, having met earlier this year in the Taca da Liga Final that Benfica captured in January. The two club's are also level on points for the Portuguese title and have what may be a title deciding game in Week 33 at the Luz.
