SL Benfica progressed into the semi-final of the Portuguese Women's Cup as Thembi Kgatlana's brace inspired her side to an 11-2 victory over Amora in Lisboa on Sunday.

The South African star made an impressive debut as a substitute her side's 3-1 win over Sporting Braga in Super Cup tie two weeks ago.

Luís Andrade's team came into the encounter on the heels of last week's 5-0 league triumph over Estoril Praia and aimed to defend the title they won last season with a 4-0 win over Valadares Gaia.
