Portuguese Cup Quarter Final Drawing



The Portuguese Cup drawings continues to give Benfica favorable match ups. Not that Benfica fears to play anyone, as they will need to beat any team that cross their path if they are to hoist the trophy, but easier games can help the team build momentum going into the later rounds.
This time Benfica will play home against Moreirense. Moreirense is currently 9th in Portugal's 3rd flight division(2nd division B). Moreirense was once a part of Portugal's top flight(2004/05 season), but they have since gone into a downward spiral, being relegated to the Honor Division(now Vitalis), and then to the Second Division B in 05/06, where they have remained. Moreirense is the only team still alive from Portugal's lowest divisions.

Here are the other Match Ups:

F.C. Porto-Gil Vicente
Sporting-E. Amadora
Naval-V. Setúbal

Both Sporting and Porto were also drawn to play at home.
