The 2011 Taça de Portugal Final was the final match of the 71st season of the Taça de Portugal, the main Portuguese football knockout competition. It was played at the Estádio Nacional, Oeiras, on 22 May 2011, and featured Vitória de Guimarães and 2010–11 Primeira Liga winners Porto.[3] Porto won 6–2 to claim the cup title for a record third consecutive year and for the 16th time in its history.[4][5][6] Porto's Colombian winger James Rodríguez scored a hat-trick and was voted man of the match.[1]
Vitória were playing their fifth final (after participations in 1942, 1963, 1976 and 1988) but still looking to win their first title.[7] Porto were present in the final for the 28th time, having previously won 15 times.[8] This was the second time both teams faced each other in the final; the first was in 1988, when Porto won 1–0. It was also the ninth final (third consecutive) between teams from the north of Portugal.[9] This match provided the highest amount of goals (eight) in a cup final since 1964, when Porto were defeated by Benfica by the same score.[10]
Since Porto were already qualified to the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League as domestic title holders, the outcome of this match would determine the fate of Vitória in the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League. As the losing cup finalist, Vitória will begin their European campaign in the play-off round.[11]
The 2011 Portuguese Super Cup, to be played on 6 August 2011, will be between these same teams as Porto won both the league and cup titles.[12]
