AF Leiria referee Fábio Veríssimo will take charge of tonight's FC Porto v Benfica tie, the third of his career between the clubs.
According to O Jogo, he was appointed yesterday by the Conselho de Arbitragem for the Taça de Portugal quarter-finals, with the paper's Tribunal O JOGO column analysing the decision.
Veríssimo returns to Estádio do Dragão less than two months after Porto's 2-1 league win over Braga.
After that match, he found a television in the dressing room repeatedly replaying a first-half disallowed goal.
The screen also showed footage from another game involving a Porto youth side at the Pontinha tournament.
