Benfica Cruise Into Taça de Portugal Final After Back-to-Back Thrashings of Tirsense
With a 9-0 aggregate score, Benfica made no mistakes and booked their place in the Taça de Portugal final, decisively defeating a spirited Tirsense side in both semifinal legs.

The first leg, held on April 9 at Tirsense’s ground, saw Benfica essentially seal the tie with a 5-0 victory. Scorers in that match included an own goal by João Pedro, and goals from João Rego, Gianluca Prestianni, Arthur Cabral, and Andreas Schjelderup.
Benfica will now face Sporting CP in the final, setting the stage for a thrilling Lisbon derby. The club will aim to add another trophy to their cabinet and potentially cap the season with a domestic double, as they remain in contention for the Primeira Liga title.
Meanwhile, Tirsense, a third-division Portuguese team, exit the tournament with heads held high, having reached the semifinals and bravely challenged one of the nation’s football giants.
The Taça de Portugal final is set for next month, and fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an electric clash between Lisbon’s top clubs.
