Braga (Portugal): Porto are through to the final of the Portuguese League Cup final after defeating Benfica 3-1 in the first semifinal.
The match at Municipal Stadium in Braga on Tuesday night, which is hosting both semifinals and next Sunday’s final, saw plenty of back-and-forth action between Primeira Liga leaders Porto and second-place Benfica, reports Efe news.
