On June 17, 1979, FC Porto secured the national championship by defeating Barreirense 4-0 at the Estádio das Antas in the final round of the competition.

In a one-sided match, the Porto side built an emphatic victory with goals from António Oliveira, Duda and Fernando Gomes, along with an own goal by Frederico Rosa. This win secured the Blues and Whites’ second consecutive title, following the 1977/78 triumph, which had already ended a long championship drought.

With this result against Barreirense, FC Porto finished the 1978/79 championship as back-to-back national champions, reinforcing their domestic dominance during that period of their history. It was also the seventh time the club lifted the top trophy in Portuguese football.

The victory at the Antas was marked by Porto’s superiority throughout the 90 minutes, in an outcome that left no doubt on a decisive matchday. The 4-0 scoreline emphatically confirmed the successful title defence and cemented one of the most significant chapters in the club’s honours list.
