SETUBAL, Apr 15 (SW) - FC Porto are through to the final of the Taça de Portugal, following a convincing 3-0 win at Vitoria Setubal on Tuesday.

Vitoria's Jorginho helped the fresh champions a little by scoring an own goal in the 37th minute, and González would add another two goals for Porto in the second half.

It was the second time in a few days that Setubal and Porto played against each other. On Saturday, Porto had already beaten Setubal 2-1 in the league.

In the final, Porto will attempt to win the cup for the 18th time. The opponents will come from Lisbon, as Sporting Portugal and Benfica meet for the second semi final on Wednesday.

Porto seems to be allmighty in Portugal -- However, in Europe they don't seem to be able to get a solid food on the ground?

Yea its weird that Porto cannot do better in Europe. They always seem to play Liverpool and Liverpool are too strong for them.

But dont rule Porto out, soon enough they will be doing better in Europe.

But in thier own league they are outstanding.

You underestimate Porto, it is not the same team than few years ago, you should remember the UEFA Cup won by Benfica not so long ago. Porto during last few years lost (transfers) many valuable players. This team is slowly regaining its place in european football.
