LISBON, May 26, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Sporting Lisbon defeated rivals Benfica 3-1 to claim the Portuguese Cup on Sunday and complete an impressive double after edging out the same opponent on the final day of the league season.

Rui Borges' side forced extra-time with in-form striker Viktor Gyokeres' penalty in the 11th minute of stoppage time after Orkun Kokcu sent Benfica ahead in the 47th minute.

Conrad Harder fired Sporting in front after 99 minutes and Francisco Trinaco wrapped up the win at the death against their Lisbon rivals.

Sporting's season was almost derailed when coach Ruben Amorim left to join Manchester United in November and his successor Joao Pereira struggled to get the team firing.

Little over a month later Borges came in and steadied the ship, taking the team to a second successive Portuguese crown before making it a double.
