28 May 1933: when FC Porto thrashed Benfica 8-0 in a historic derby | OneFootball

On May 28, 1933, FC Porto recorded one of the most remarkable victories in the history of the clássico by thrashing Benfica 8-0 in the first leg of the Campeonato de Portugal quarter-finals, the competition that preceded the current Portuguese Cup.

The match was played at Campo da Constituição, in Porto, and ended in absolute domination by the blue and whites. Waldemar Mota and Acácio Mesquita were the standout performers, scoring three goals each, while Lopes Carneiro and Carlos Nunes completed the list of scorers on a memorable afternoon for the Porto club.

This result remains one of the biggest thrashings inflicted by FC Porto on their Lisbon rival and stands as a historic landmark in the rivalry between the two clubs.

In the image from that day, Waldemar Mota and Pinga can be seen celebrating one of Porto’s goals, in a picture that helps immortalize one of the most significant chapters in FC Porto’s run in the old Campeonato de Portugal.

The match was recorded as one of the most emblematic moments of the 1930s for Porto supporters, not only because of the scale of the result, but also because of the competitive context in which it was achieved: a knockout tie against Benfica, at a time when the premier competition in Portuguese football was still called the Campeonato de Portugal.
