FC Porto eliminated V. Guimarães in the semi-finals of the Women’s Portuguese Cup. In statements to Canal 11, Angeline da Costa confessed that reaching the final is “a dream,” something that, at the beginning, seemed hard to imagine: “It’s a dream. At the start of our journey, we didn’t dream about the final because we knew it would be difficult.”

Regarding the tie against the “Conquistadoras,” the 26-year-old midfielder admitted that it was a very demanding match-up: “It wasn’t an easy game, neither in the first leg nor in the second. They were different games, but both very tough.”

Trained in France and with a spell in the Netherlands, the player strengthened FC Porto’s women’s team at the start of the season and assures that the blue and whites have “a first division level team.” In addition, the former Valadares Gaia player said she was impressed with the “well-built” squad and the “quality of the Porto staff.”

Regarding the final against Benfica, Angeline da Costa highlighted that she is “very happy” to “offer” a classic to the fans, further emphasizing the difficulty of the match: “Benfica is a very strong opponent. A team that plays in the Champions League and has a lot of quality and experience. We will approach the game to achieve the best possible result. To win,” concluded the midfielder.
