Brigada (women) secured a 3:2 victory over Porto (women) in Women's Cup matches on 20 September 2026 at 17:00. The result stands in contrast to their recent history, where Porto had dominated previous meetings. Braga had managed only one win in their last five encounters against their rivals.
Looking back at the form book, Porto had won three of the last five meetings between these sides. They had beaten Braga 3:0 on both 10 May and 7 May, and again 3:0 on 26 April. Braga's sole victory in that span came on 1 May with a 3:0 win of their own.
Brigada's other result in that period was a 3:1 victory over Sporting (women) on 15 April. Porto, meanwhile, had picked up three wins from their last five matches, including a 3:1 victory over Benfica Women on 23 April. The contrast in form heading into this cup match made the outcome all the more notable.
The 3:2 scoreline suggests a tightly contested affair, though no minute-by-minute details are available to confirm the narrative. What stands clear is the shift in momentum — Braga had not won against Porto since that May victory, and now they have turned it around after the break in their recent record.
This result means Braga have now claimed one victory over Porto in their last six meetings. The Portuguese rivals had been on a good run against each other, but this cup match changes the picture. Both sides remain in the hunt for silverware this season.
