Salgueiros 08 — Feirense: 1:0, Taça de Portugal

Salgueirense 08 have knocked Feirense out of the Portuguese Cup with a 1-0 victory in the Round of 128. The match ended on 19 September 2026 with the home side holding on after a late goal. It was a straightforward result, though not always easy to see coming.

And here's the thing — the decisive moment arrived at 90+2 minutes. Feirense had pushed forward looking for an equaliser but couldn't find a way through. The home side kept their shape and saw the game out.

By then, Feirense's recent run suggested they had hit a wall. They'd lost their last four matches before this cup tie, including defeats to Shakhter, Sporting B and ABC. Salgueirense, meanwhile, had picked up two bookings in five minutes during the closing stages but stayed composed.

To be fair, the statistics tell a mixed story. Salgueirense controlled 49 per cent of possession but were more efficient — three shots on target for one goal. Feirense had four shots on target but couldn't convert. Both teams committed similar fouls, though the visitors picked up four yellow cards compared to two for the hosts.

The result means Salgueirense 08 advance while Feirense's campaign comes to an end. It was a narrow victory built on timing rather than dominance, and one that will be remembered for that single moment in stoppage time.
