Leandro Barreiro struck late in the Clássico, his goal keeping José Mourinho's Benfica alive despite a draw with Porto.
According to A Bola, Mourinho has told his squad that nothing is lost and no one can ease off, with total focus required heading into Arouca. The report adds that Barreiro's late finish, set up by Ivanovic, has renewed the 63-year-old's belief that the title remains possible.
He is also said to have underlined the need to keep fighting for a Champions League place this season.
With matchday 25 complete, Benfica head into the next round hoping rivals slip.
Mourinho was sent off by João Pinheiro, so Benfica will travel to Arouca without him.
