After the 2-2 draw in Guimarães in the first leg of the semi-finals, FC Porto is looking to secure a historic spot in the final of the Women's Portuguese Cup this Wednesday. Porto's coach, Daniel Chaves, is confident about this new clash with Vitória.

"We have to understand that this is a knockout game and it could last 90, 120 minutes or be decided on penalties. We must manage our emotions according to the flow of the game, and we know that this will be one of the important aspects we need to control," he began, speaking to FC Porto's media.

"In a Portuguese Cup semi-final, the goal is to win, reach the final, and achieve a historic feat in this still short journey of FC Porto's women's team. That is the objective; we have to play the Porto way, and the result will be a consequence of what we do on the field, so we don't want to leave anything undone," added the 34-year-old coach.

Eliza Turner also expressed confidence and joy in being part of this Porto project. "Although I have just arrived, I am very excited to be part of this important moment for the Club. I know how much it means to everyone, so I am really proud to have the opportunity to make history with FC Porto," said the 23-year-old midfielder.

The blue and whites lead the championship phase of the national 2nd Division, while Vitória currently holds the 6th place in the Liga BPI. The second leg of the semi-final is scheduled for 8:30 PM at the Estádio Luís Filipe Menezes, in Olival, Vila Nova de Gaia, with international referee Catarina Campos from AF Lisbon officiating the match.
