Super Cup: Benfica 0 Rio Ave 0 (pens 3-2)

Last season's treble winners were held to a scoreless draw by Rio Ave - cup runners-up twice in 2013-14 - at the Estadio Municipal de Aveiro before goalkeeper Artur's shoot-out heroics.

Artur saved three spot-kicks to see Benfica win the Super Cup for the fifth time and first since 2005.

Both teams had their chances during the first 120 minutes – Jorge Jesus' Benfica arguably the better – without finding an opener.

Diego Lopes had his saved down to Artur's left before Luisao gave Benfica the advantage.

Tiago Pinto was the last player to be denied as his spot-kick was saved, ending Rio Ave's bid for a first Super Cup.
