Calsberg Cup final: fc Porto vs Benfica 0 - 3 result
A clumsy intervention of goalkeeper Nuno, the first ball kicked at FC Porto's goal, cooked the Benfica's announced victory, in the seasons first final, keeping possession of the trophy. A demoralizing bid for a psychologically marked team, and a stabilizer for a tactically changed Benfica.
It was Benfica's sixth victory in last seven games (18-3 in goals at this stage), with Aimar, Amorim and Martins for the first time together in the midfield, supported by a rookie, Airton, who never left remember Javi GarcÃa's absence.
Instead, FC Porto had their third defeat in the last five games (4-14 in goals), and had only ten minutes of any intensity, between the first goal and the half-hour.
In 4x5x1, with so much weight of center midfielders, wasn't surprising that Benfica's most influential players were midfielders, authors of two goals (and a half).
Amorim scored the first and built the third, scored by Cardozo, and Carlos Martins scored on free kick for the first this season, just before the break.
It wasn't a memorable meeting, far from it. Quite marked by some fans bad behavior, in the hours before kick off and after break restart, making return to the Portuguese stadiums, the third-world environment of the 80's and 90's.
Benfica opted to control and had the luck of the game, with two goals on three shots on goal in the first half, while FC Porto were a shattered and with poor health team.
The use of fouls and the underground plays, mostly from Bruno Alves, and Raul Meireles, the two captains, denounce this state of mind.
The second half was very poor, with more than 30 minutes without any major offensive action by either side, finishing with a goal to penalize FcPorto, but able to distinguish Ruben Amorim as the best player on the field - a Portuguese who, strangely not enters the national coach accounts, as Carlos Martins or Coentrao.
