Braga and Estoril faced off for the first time in the first final involving both teams, with Estoril making into their first cup final since the 1944 Taça de Portugal final. In the final, Braga won the final 5–4 after a penalty shootout, thus becoming only the third team (after Benfica and Sporting CP) in the competition's history to win the Taça da Liga for their third time.
