2 June 1991: João Pinto lifted the cup, another FC Porto triumph | OneFootball

On June 2, 1991, FC Porto won the Portuguese Cup by defeating Beira-Mar 3-1 after extra time in the 1990/91 final, played at the Estádio Nacional.

The date became linked to yet another landmark moment in Porto’s history and to a recurring image from a victorious era: João Pinto with the trophy in his hands, symbolising the former captain’s deep bond with the club and the team’s success.

FC Porto won the 7th Portuguese Cup in its history after beating Beira-Mar 3-1. The goals that secured another title for the Dragons were scored by Domingos Paciência, Emil Kostadinov and Jaime Magalhães.

On that day, the Dragons once again lifted one of the most important trophies in Portuguese football, bringing the premier cup competition to a close with a victory over Beira-Mar in a final decided only in extra time. The result confirmed Porto’s superiority and added another Portuguese Cup to the blue-and-white honours list.

João Pinto, a defining figure of that period, became one of the faces most closely associated with FC Porto’s triumphs. The image of the defender lifting trophies remains a symbol of consistency, leadership and Porto identity during one of the most remarkable periods in the club’s history.

Decades later, June 2, 1991 still holds a special place in FC Porto’s memory: the day the Dragons once again celebrated the Portuguese Cup and reinforced their winning tradition in the competition.
