Sporting and Porto secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup with emphatic 4-0 victories tonight over Tondela and Estoril respectively.
The Lions easily defeated second-division side Tondela in Alvalade, with braces from Pedro Gonçalves and Viktor Gyökeres.
Porto were expected to be given a far tougher test against Estoril, but the much-improved Dragons exacted revenge against the team that had beaten them twice in recent times. Evanilson was the star of the show scoring a hat-trick, with Galeno rounding off a highly satisfactory night for Porto.
The draw for the round of 16 will take place the night Benfica hosts Braga at the Estádio da Luz.
