João Mário reacts to his side's Portuguese Cup derby win
João Mário put in a brilliant performance in his side's 2-1 Portuguese Cup win over Benfica on Saturday night.
“It was a really hard game and I think this was the first time we have come from behind. We reacted well and turned the result around. Benfica did well but I really want to speak about our team, because this was our third win against our main rival. Now we have to focus on keeping this up", said the midfielder at the final whistle, continuing: "We are feeling confident of course, but you only beat a team like Benfica with hard work. We prepared well and we believe in the work we are doing. We were the better side for the whole game."
