In the first match of the Portuguese Cup semi-final, Sporting Lisbon beat Porto at home with a 1:0 score..

The first half was a tense fight without any goals scored.. Both teams acted carefully, paying particular respect to the defense, even though the first part of the two-match battle for reaching the final was at stake.

The greatest moment was on the 62nd century. Sporting denied the right to a penalty, and striker Luis Suarez took the penalty kick, giving his team a minimal advantage.

Until the final whistle, the rulers tried to save the possible goals, wanting Porto to win and become active in the attack in the final battle..

Sporting – Porto 1:0.

Goal: Suarez, 62 (penalty) Thus, the share of a trip to the final rests with the match-type that will take place on the Porto field.

In the other semi-final, Torrense and AD Fafe are fighting for the right to play in the final match of the tournament..

It seems likely that before Benfica, for which the Ukrainians Georgiy Sudakov and Anatoly Trubin represent, they stopped fighting in the tournament at the quarterfinal stage, sacrificing Porto.
