On 4 April 1948: FC Porto lose 0-2 at Campo da Constituição to Benfica | OneFootball

On April 4, 1948, Benfica beat FC Porto 2-0 in a Portuguese League match played at Campo da Constituição, in Porto.

The match was marked as one of the season’s classics held at Porto’s old home ground, during a period when the duels between the two clubs already carried very strong competitive weight in Portuguese football. The away victory allowed Benfica to secure an important win at one of the championship’s historic venues.

Campo da Constituição, then FC Porto’s stadium, hosted important matches for the blue-and-white team over several decades, including major fixtures on the national calendar. The game on April 4, 1948, is part of that competitive memory, with Benfica winning by two unanswered goals.

This result remains one of the notable anniversaries in the history of meetings between FC Porto and Benfica in the Portuguese League, in a period when the championship had a very different format from today’s, but when the rivalry between the two clubs was already well established.
