The women's football League Cup kicks off with first-round matches, in a draw that produced interesting fixtures for the main teams in the Portuguese championship.
Benfica, one of the title contenders, begins the competition with a difficult trip to Braga's ground, which represents a challenge right from the initial phase of the tournament.
FC Porto also plays away in the opening round, facing a team that was not specifically mentioned in the draw, but which equally represents a test for the blue and white side.
On the other hand, Sporting and Torreense, the current trophy holders, benefit from a bye in this first round, automatically advancing to the next phase of the competition.
