Sport Lisboa e Benfica conquered this season’s national cup of Portugal (Taça de Portugal), which was their 17th trophy in the tournament (most-titled).
In the final that was held at the Multipurpose Hall (Pavilhão Multiusos) in the city of Sines (where the Final Four was held), Benfica defeated Castêlo da Maia by a 3-1 (24-26, 25-18, 25-23, 25-12). Previously, Benfica swept Associação Académica de Espinho by a 3-0 in the semifinals.
Benfica players will not have too much time to celebrate winning their first trophy in the season because they will face Sporting CP in the 2017/18 Portuguese men’s volleyball championship I Divisão best-of-five playoff finals, next weekend.
