Taça de Portugal: Sporting could face Porto in the semi-finals… at Alvalade | OneFootball

FC Porto will face the winner of the match between Sporting and AVS in the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup, as determined by the draw held this Thursday at the Cidade do Futebol.

The Dragons, who knocked out Benfica in the quarter-finals (1-0), will have to wait until the beginning of February to find out their next opponent, when Sporting hosts AVS at Alvalade. In the semi-finals, Sporting or AVS will play the first leg at home, and the second leg will be held at the Dragão.

In the other semi-final, Fafe, who eliminated Sporting de Braga (2-1) in the previous round, will face Torreense, who knocked out União de Leiria (3-1). Fafe will play at home in the first leg, while Torreense will host the second match.

It is also confirmed that, in the final at Jamor on May 24, there will be a lower-division team present—either Fafe, from Liga 3, or Torreense, from the II Liga. However, it is not inevitable that the final will be unprecedented, since FC Porto and Torreense have already faced each other in the decisive match of the “queen of competitions” in 1955/56.

The semi-finals will be played over two legs, between March 3 and 5 and between April 21 and 23.
