Seoposenwe's brace inspires Sporting Braga to first ever Portuguese Cup title

Jermaine Seoposenwe hit a brace as Sporting Braga beat SL Benfica 3-1 to win the Portuguese Women's Cup title for the first time.

Before the 2019-20 final match, the South Africa international had played 84 minutes but could not help Gverreiras avoid a 3-0 loss to SL Benfica in the Women's League Cup final last Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the Seoposenwe earned a starting spot in coach Miguel Santos' squad, while Nigeria's Christy Ucheibe and Cape Verde's Jolina Amani were left on the bench by SL Benfica.

Hannah Keane, who replaced Cindy Konig on the starting list, opened the scoring with her superb strike three minutes after Andreia Norton's came close in the fifth minute for Braga.
