Summary Sporting started strong with more possession of the ball but failed to create clear cut chances.

Porto's most clear cut chance in the first half fell to Porto captain Lucho González who struck the post on 32 minutes. As the half came to a close, clever link up play between Leandro Romagnoli and Abel dismantled Porto's wing and Abel threaded a ball threw to an unmarked Yannick Djaló who on the edge of the box fired the ball past Helton. Following the break, Porto started stronger and began to create more in attack after Ernesto Farías gave away to Hulk. Despite Porto's superiority, Djaló would score yet again after a series of defense mistakes. Despite Sporting's second goal, Porto pressed to find a consolation. Porto's hunt for their first goal, saw them awarded a penalty by Carlos Xistra following a clumsy challenge by Marco Caneira. González stepped up and saw his penalty saved by Patrício. Sporting would hold on to capture a seventh Supertaça.
