On April 7, 1929, FC Porto secured 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 Porto side’s complete dominance, producing a highly unusual scoreline in Portuguese football that still ranks among the club’s biggest wins in official competitions.
