Pepê, who was everywhere, ran to the right. No matter how long Coates' steps were and the Uruguayan still tried the tackle in desperation, the Brazilian escaped and crossed. Wendell held the ball, and Stephen Eustáquio was all faith. An MVP's faith. Like Adán, for the sake of his own sins. The ball slipped through the goalkeeper's fingers, and FC Porto was ahead in the Cup it never won. A better debut for the Canadian on RealFevr was impossible.

At the age of 39, Pepe continues to prove that he retains all the qualities of a top defender. In addition to the experience, the blue and white showed a good reading of the game and the ability to anticipate to prevent Paulinho from netting the goal guarded by Cláudio Ramos. Are there defensive actions worth goals? There are and this is one of them.

A full-back with an eye for goal and capable of making a difference in the last third? Pedro Porro, of course! With a beautiful pass to the back of Marítimo's by the promising Mateus Fernandes, the Spanish star was in an excellent position to finish but nothing like embellishing the play even more, leaving goalkeeper Miguel Silva completely bewildered. And... goal! Porro's RealFevr debut is something else!

At a time when the reds continued without any defeat in the 22/23 season and after 8 consecutive victories, the home match against FC Penafiel would theoretically be easy. But it wasn't at all. Already in the 2nd half, and winning by 1-0, the visiting team was staying alive in the game, but after an insistence move between Musa and Rafa, the ball bounced to David Neres, and the Brazilian sentenced it. 2-0 and the score has not changed.

FC Porto goal! Taremi? Of course, who else could it be? The team coached by Sérgio Conceição secured access to the semi-finals of the competition with a 2-0 victory against Gil Vicente FC. In the second goal, the "Gilista" team just watched the opportunistic – and faithful – Otávio making a key pass for the Iranian Mehdi to score. Looks easy!

The null persisted. Marcus Edwards won the free-kick on the edge of half-time, but it was another lefty, capable of wrapping the ball like a poisoned present, who took over the kick. Targeted in the angle, the ball came curled by Nuno Santos. It went down a little, became defensible, and three wide lateral steps were enough. Thiago Rodrigues deflected it into a corner. A save that the Brazilian goalkeeper will never forget.

A great full-back also knows how to play inside. Pepê crossed, and the ball was left for Galeno, who was still thinking about the 1 against 1 before finding João Mário, camouflaged, retreating from the penalty area. In the middle of a large estate, the defender dressed up as a fantasist and made Danny Namaso enter through the defensive line like a hot knife in butter. The Englishman just had to choose a side of Académico de Viseu's goal.

The Portuguese stages already missed a memorable "trivela" that only ended at the bottom of the nets. Against former team Sporting CP, Alan Ruiz unleashed his creativity and, with the outside of his left foot, offered a real present that Oday Dabbagh took gladly. The match was tied, with a goal that still raised the hopes of the FC Arouca team.

If there is a player at Sporting CP capable of bringing fans to the stadium all by himself and making them rise in anticipation of a moment of magic, it is Marcus Edwards. In the semi-final of the League Cup, the Englishman wasted no time and, in the 10th minute, he created one of those plays that leave any fan excited: he received the ball in the right half, dribbled between half of the team and assisted, under the legs of the opponent, Nuno Santos and left him with everything to score a goal. It did not happen, but the play no one will forget!

FC Arouca went from party heaven to VAR hell. Back to zero, the green and whites gladly accepted the foul that fell to them from the sky and presented them with a free kick. Nuno Santos created the first diversionary maneuver with Edwards and, when he received the ball again, he signaled the entrance of Pedro Gonçalves, until then forgotten, behind the defense. Ball to the back post and Pote assisted with a header the leader of the firing squad. Paulinho did not forgive and put Sporting CP ahead in the semi-final.

Decisive group game, but with elimination weight. SL Benfica was bound to win on goal difference. Moreirense FC scored first, but the tie still came before the break. Rafa accelerated, got close to the line, and crossed, finding Gonçalo Ramos in his favorite area. The Portuguese forward did what he does best, but there will be no more goals and the eagles felt the first displeasure of the season.

SL Benfica can change half of the team but Odysseas Vlachodimos will always be the owner of the goal. The decision was justified in the middle of the break, with two decisive saves to secure the advantage for the eagles. In a direct free kick, Jean Felipe shot hard and the Greek was attentive after seeing the ball slide into the barrier. In the reload, Ronald shot in the frontal zone with the ball deflected for yet another high-level intervention by the SL Benfica goalkeeper.

It is said that finals are not played, they are won! It was something that FC Porto had never achieved in the League Cup, but that Iván Marcano ended up solving. Already in the final stretch of an exciting game, the dragons went up on the right, through a joint effort by João Mário and Pepê, and the latter crossed for the Spanish central defender who played the striker role and sentenced an epic triumph for the blues and whites!

Gonçalo Inácio knew that the probability of the ball reaching him was high and stayed in the area, even after an unsuccessful free kick. Sporting CP kept the ball and everyone knew what Edwards was going to do. Simulate and go inside. The problem, as always, was knowing when. The left cut gave him enough space and the ball came out even rounder than before. Inácio was there and he didn't even need to jump, just swerve. Jhonatan touched the ball, but the lions had already found a way to triumph.

On a night to remember for many years in Alvalade, Francisco Trincão scored in a perfect collective play, but full of ambition. Ugarte launched a long shot, Nuno Santos collected it and, in a 3-to-1 counter-attack, it ended up being Trincão who pushed it into the back of SC Braga's nets, not trembling in front of Matheus. A textbook play. That was how the 4-0 was made in a result that was not yet closed.

SL Benfica was wearing yellow, but if they were wearing blue and red they would easily be confused with FC Barcelona after this goal by Petar Musa! Still, at 0-0 against Estrela da Amadora, the eagles entered through the central sector with Rafa and the Croatian striker exchanging 5 passes in a short space and always with few touches on the ball. Musa ended up transforming this moment of magic into the opening goal and, in the end, it was fundamental as the reds would only win by the smallest margin.

We were living the first game of the competition for FC Porto and CD Mafra and, in the 70th minute, the surprise was big: the dragons were losing 2-1 in front of their fans. However, in an insistent play after a corner taken from the left of the attack, Toni Martínez received the ball just outside the area and authentically shot a missile at the visitors' goalkeeper. He made it 2-2, a score that would last until the end, still constituting a great result for the second-division team.

On a night of little work and with Sporting CP showing remarkable offensive production, Adán was safe when called upon to intervene. Ricardo Horta, already 3-0 down at Alvalade, tried to reverse the course of events from afar, but the Spanish goalkeeper didn't shake and held on to the advantage. In the end, an outstanding 5-0 would turn out to be the result!

Unlikely quarter-finals in the League Cup, with Moreirense FC eliminating SL Benfica in the group stage and FC Arouca leaving behind four opponents so far. The home team was winning, but in the 70th minute everything changed: Alan Ruiz hits a tense corner from the right, and, surprising everyone and everything, Tiago Esgaio appears at the first post and scores... with his heel. A great goal from the defender launched the visitors to the turnaround that gave them a presence in the semi-finals.

Historical reunion. Estrela da Amadora faced a terrible mission: to break SL Benfica's winning streak. The tricolors gave everything, but they collided with the post, literally. Erivaldo Almeida to say so. From Florentino to Diogo Gonçalves a straight line, from the winger to Neres another. If goalkeeper Bruno Brígido was no more, the defender remained, who saved and postponed the third of the night. The pains even got easier to bear.

Famana Quizera is a name relatively unknown to the public: having been part of the formation at SL Benfica, he left early for Borussia Mönchengladbach, in Germany, and recently returned to Portugal to play for Académico de Viseu. The Luso-Guinean has wreaked havoc, especially in the 2nd division, with goals, assists, and disconcerting dribbles. That's what he also showed against FC Porto, in the semi-final of the League Cup, when, with his heel, he cut inside and left Matheus Uribe authentically sitting on the pitch. Ouch!

André Horta took a corner kick from the left into the heart of the area. Abel Ruiz was lured to the first post and Bruno Rodrigues' movement to the second opened a clearing for Al Musrati's triumphal entry. Marcos Valente was already late and the Libyan didn't even need to jump that much, just point, with his head, away from Tiago Silva.

Friday Etim is not just a goal scorer. It's also fun and technical features that justify every paid ticket. In the 35th minute of the match against GD Chaves, the young Nigerian striker from FC Vizela lifted the stadium with an acrobatic bicycle kick that only ended up in the back of the net. Arguably the best goal of the entire competition. To see, review, and applaud for more!
