Taca de Portugal:Benfica beats Porto 2-0 – Portuguese Football Cup
Reuters:
“Portugal left back Coentrao took advantage of a mix-up between keeper Helton and centre back Maicon to toe-poke in the first in the sixth minute.
Spanish midfielder Garcia scored the Portuguese champions’ second 20 minutes later from long-distance after a poor clearance by midfielder Fernando.
Porto, unbeaten in the Portuguese Premier League and eight points ahead of Benfica, were a shadow of the team that had thrashed their Lisbon rivals 5-0 on their last visit in November and failed to pose any consistent danger. They missed their prolific Colombian striker Radamel Falcao, who was out injured, and could not break down a well-organised Benfica defence even after Coentrao was dismissed for a second booking on 59 minutes.”
The second leg will be played in Lisbon on April 19.

Porto football manager: André Vllas-Boas
“Luís André de Pina Cabral de Villas-Boas (born 17 October 1977 in Porto) is a Portuguese football manager currently managing FC Porto.
He is regarded as unique in the sense that he has no football playing experience, became a coach of a major club with very little head coaching experience, and achieved this role at a very young age.
He is currently the youngest football manager in the Portuguese league.”
