SC Farense vs SL Benfica

The rivalry between SC Farense and FC Porto is mainly due to their geographic proximity, as both clubs are located in the city of Faro, Portugal. The two teams have met in the Portuguese Cup and Primeira Liga, with FC Porto being the more successful of the two. While SC Farense have never beaten FC Porto in a competitive match, they have come close on a few occasions, most notably in the 2011/12 season when they held the Dragons to a goalless draw in the Primeira Liga. The rivalry between the two teams has been described as intense but respectful.
