7 April 1929: FC Porto thrashed SC Braga 13-0, a historic rout | OneFootball

On April 7, 1929, FC Porto achieved one of the most remarkable victories in its history by defeating SC Braga 13–0 in a Campeonato de Portugal match played at Campo do Ameal, in Porto.

The game was marked by the total dominance of the Porto side, which produced a highly unusual scoreline in Portuguese football and one that still ranks among the club’s biggest wins in official competitions. Against SC Braga, FC Porto imposed a very strong tempo from the outset and turned the match into a historic occasion.

Held at the old Campo do Ameal, then the home of the Porto side, the match is part of the competitive memory of an important phase in national football, at a time when the Campeonato de Portugal was one of the most prominent competitions on the calendar.

Many decades later, the 13–0 remains a landmark in FC Porto’s history, both because of the scale of the result and the symbolism of such a completely one-sided display against SC Braga. It is one of those records that withstands the test of time and helps tell the story of the club and of Portuguese football.
