Summary
Fernando Sá said Porto "fulfilled their obligation" in winning the Supertaça, noting that Sporting's absences made the result less impressive than it might have been. The coach highlighted a stark difference between halves: Porto struggled early, managing only two three-pointers in 16 attempts while Sporting shot 50 per cent, but improved markedly after the break by increasing ball movement and defensive intensity to limit Sporting to 35 points in the second half.
With the first trophy of the season secured, Sá said the club would spend the remaining nine months chasing more silverware.
