Porto claimed their 20th Portuguese Cup title in their history. The victory was sealed by Mehdi Taremi's goal, converting a penalty in extra time.

In the final match, the "Dragons" faced off against the newly crowned Lisbon champions, Sporting. Lisbon's defender, St. Juste, played a crucial role in the game. Initially, he scored from a corner kick, putting his team ahead. Later, he committed a rough foul near his own goal, leaving Sporting with a man down. Between these events, Evanilson capitalized on a defensive error and equalized the score.

After the break, Porto dominated possession, but Sporting always had a response, leading to no winner being determined in regular time.

The decisive moment came in the middle of the first extra time. Porto was awarded a penalty, confidently converted by Mehdi Taremi.
