Although the Primeira Liga had already finished, Moreirense's matches weren't quite over yet.
They had one last match, which was the Portuguese Cup Final.
In this match, their opponent was the strongest among the top three powerhouses of the Primeira Liga... Porto!
This season, Porto had lost Jia De'er, and their problem with insufficient firepower had become immediately apparent.
But they weren't without gains.
The young midfield star Anderson Luis de Souza, whom they had taken from Salgueiros for eight million euros two years earlier, had experienced a personal breakout year.
He was practically omnipotent in the midfield, crushing the midfields of fellow Primeira Liga powerhouses Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, and was named this year's best midfielder of the Primeira Liga.
