20 June 1995: In Paris, Domingos won it, FC Porto's eighth Super Cup | OneFootball

On June 20, 1995, FC Porto beat Benfica 1-0 and won the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup in the deciding match played at Parc des Princes in Paris.

After two draws in the first two legs of the final, a third match on neutral ground was needed to determine the winner of the competition. In the decider, Domingos Paciência scored the decisive goal in the 49th minute and settled the match.

With this triumph, FC Porto lifted the Super Cup for the eighth time in its history. Since then, the club has gone on to win the competition again and now has 24 titles in it.

The 1995 deciding match remains a landmark moment in Porto’s history, not only because of the historic rival involved, Benfica, but also because of the international stage where it was decided. In Paris, the blue and whites secured another domestic trophy in a closely contested clash, decided right at the start of the second half.

FC Porto will compete for the trophy again in August, in a new Super Cup final, against Torreense.
