Fc Porto won yesterday's clash against Sporting Lisbon after a penalty shoot-out, where Vitor Baía defended João Moutinho's first penalty and everyone else scored, following a 1-1 drawn after 120 minutes and a 0-0 after 90 minutes.
Sporting Lisbon scored first by Liedson after a huge mistake by FC Porto's defender Marek Cech that allowed Nani to cross to the area where Liedson (as always) was in the right place.
After a rumbling between Raul Meireles and Deivid, Caneira eventually got sent out, and FC Porto scored by Benni McCarthy after a cross from Ricardo Quaresma.
It wasn't the greatest of games but a very competitive one where the referee was the worst element on the pitch.
Fc Porto is now on their way to the final, still waiting for the opponent coming from today's game between Vitoria Guimarães and Vitoria Setubal.
