Semifinals
The first semi-final game was played between Benfica and Lazio. The Italians were considered favorites, given their triumph over the Spanish champion Atlético Madrid in the Teresa Herrera Trophy, won in preparation for the tournament. The Portuguese club scored first in the opening minutes, when Julinho opened the scoring. Rogério extended the lead for the home side, who scored their third goal in the second half through Arsenio.LATIN CUP 1950 (Part 1) - BENFICA LISBOA WINNER https://iffhs.com/en/news/latin-cup-1950-part-1-benfica-lisboa-winner-756 IFFHS
The other semi-final, also played at the Estádio Nacional, pitted French champions Bordeaux against Spanish champions Atlético Madrid. Kargu opened the scoring for the French side with a free-kick, and Doye extended their lead before the end of the first half. Atlético, managed by Helenio Herrera, pulled one back through Ben Barek, who scored with his chest early in the second half. In the 77th minute, Atlético equalized through Carlsson, who capitalized on a cross from Olmedo, and with just two minutes remaining, when it seemed the game would end in a draw, Kargu scored his second goal, followed by a fourth for the French team, scored by Doye in the 90th minute.

Third place match
After being eliminated in the semifinals, Lazio and Atlético Madrid played for third place. Both teams had met days before in the Teresa Herrera Trophy, and there had been several altercations between the two sides. In the eleventh minute, Ben M'Barek opened the scoring, but a few minutes later Piacentini and Carlsson were sent off after altercations. Escudero scored Atlético's second goal, receiving a pass from Ben M'Barek and shooting powerfully past Fioravanti.Os espanhóis venceram os italianos por 2–1 The Spanish team beat the Italians 2-1 http://casacomum.org/cc/visualizador?pasta=06330.051.12451 Diário de Lisboa Lazio were reduced to nine men after Sementini was sent off for insulting the referee, and their reaction was to leave the field for a few minutes in protest.
