This Thursday, Porto beat Santa Clara 2-1 in the postponed Portuguese Cup quarter-final, turning around and setting up a meeting with Vitória de Guimarães in the semi-finals.
The match was resumed today after being abandoned in the 27th minute on February 7 due to bad weather conditions, and the Azoreans, playing in the II League, could not have asked for a better restart when Rafael Martins opened the scoring on the first move exactly 27th minute.
The Dragons responded in the second half and turned the result around, first through Ivanilson in the 52nd minute and then through Galeno in the 61st.
