Chinaza Uchendu's Braga loses to SL Benfica in Portuguese Women's Cup

SL Benfica defeated Chinaza Uchendu's Braga 4-2 at the Estadio 1º de Maio to qualify for the final of the Portuguese Women's Cup on Saturday.

The Nigerian striker had helped her side to a 2-1 first-leg lead in Lisbon, but Joao Marques' ladies overturned the deficit in Braga and advanced to the final.

Braga made a false start in the second leg of the semi-final as goals from Geyse Ferreira, Darlene and Yasmim Ribeiro gave the visitors a shock 3-0 lead after just eight minutes.

Then in the second half Benfica rubbed salt into the hosts' wounds, adding a fourth of the match.
