Araújo stood out in attack with seven goals, while Sanfins scored five and Lourenço added four. Catolino and Antoninho Falcão also contributed to the rout by the Porto side.

The result remains among the most one-sided in the club’s history. Only the 19-1 win over Coimbrões in 1933 was more emphatic. The 18-0 victory over Salgueiros, meanwhile, matched the win against Ginásio Liz in 1932.
