2001 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira

The 2001 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira was the 23rd edition of the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, the annual Portuguese football 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 match took place on the 4 August 2001 at the Estádio do Rio Ave FC in Vila do Conde, and was contested between 2000–01 Primeira Liga winners Boavista, and 2000–01 Taça de Portugal winners Porto.^{[citation needed]}

In Portugal, the final was televised live on RTP.^[3] Porto would defeat Boavista 1–0. A 22nd minute headed goal from central defender Jorge Andrade was sufficient for the Dragões to defeat Os Axadrezados and claim the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira for a 12th time in their history.^[4][5][6]
