The 1987 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira was the 9th edition of the
Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, the annual
Portuguesefootball season-opening match contested by the winners of the previous season's top
league and
cup competitions (or cup runner-up in case the league- and cup-winning club is the same). The 1987 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira was contested over two legs, and opposed
Benfica and
Sporting CP of the
Primeira Liga. Benfica qualified for the SuperCup by winning the
1986–87 Primeira Divisão and the
1986–87 Taça de Portugal, whilst Sporting CP qualified for the Supertaça by being the cup-runner.[3][4]
The first leg which took place at the
Estádio da Luz, saw Sporting CP defeat Benfica 3–0. The second leg which took place at the
Estádio José Alvalade saw a 1–0 Sporting CP win (4–0 on aggregate), which granted the Leões a second Supertaça.[5]
