The 2017 Taça da Liga Final was the final match of the 2016–17 Taça da Liga, the tenth season of the Taça da Liga. It was played on 29 January 2017 at Estádio Algarve.[1]
The competition involved the 35 clubs playing in the top two tiers of the Portuguese football league system – 18 from Primeira Liga and 17 from Segunda Liga – during the 2016–17 season. Reserve sides of Primeira Liga teams which played in the 2016–17 Segunda Liga were excluded from the competition.
Moreirense beat Braga 1–0 to win their first national cup in their first appearance in a national cup final.
Background
On 19 June 2015, the LPFP announced that the number of teams in the 2016–17 LigaPro season would be reduced to 22, thus reducing the number of teams that would play in the Taça da Liga from 37 to 35.[2]
On 28 June 2016, the LPFP approved some changes in relation to the semi-finals matches. It was settled that both the semi-finals and final match were to be played in the same week, and on the same stadium.[3]
Braga made their second appearance in the Taça da Liga final, after their first final in 2013, where they defeated Porto 1–0.[4][5] Moreirense had their first appearance in any national competition final in the club's history.[6] Both clubs are from Braga Football Association.
In Braga's and Moreirense's entire history, the two teams had previously met on fifteen different occasions. Braga had obtained eight wins, while Moreirense had won once, with six encounters ending in a tie.[7] Before the final, the last meeting between both sides had been in the domestic league, on 22 December 2016, with hosts Braga defeating Moreirense 2–1.[8]
