Twenty-two days after the match kicked off, Porto beat Santa Clara in the Portuguese Cup quarter-final to set up a last-four encounter against Vitória.
The original game had been interrupted owing to torrential rain and a waterlogged pitch after 26 minutes, and the islanders made a dream start upon the resumption, scoring from the very throw-in from which the game restarted, through Rafael Martins.
Porto roared back after the interval, overwhelming the hosts, creating several chances and scoring twice in 15 minutes through Evanilson and Wenderson Galeno to turn around the tie, the go-ahead goal created by superb wing play from Francisco Conceição.
Santa Clara rallied and ended the game strongly, but Porto held on to book a two-legged semi-final against Vitória. The first leg with take place at the Dom Afonso Henriques stadium in Guimarães on 2 April.
The other semi-final begins tonight, with Sporting hosting city rivals Benfica at Alvalade in the first leg.
