In the League Of Honour , FC Paços De Ferreira won the title and alongside with newcommers A. Naval 1º De Maio and fomer competitors CF Estrela Da Amadora secured their place in the 1st level of Portuguese football for 2005-06 . In the UEFA competitions, the Portuguese teams qualified in the 2003-04 Season were Porto and Benfica in the Champions League; Sporting, Sporting de Braga, CS Marítimo and CD Nacional in the UEFA Cup; and União D. De Leiria in the UEFA Intertoto Cup . Early in the season, Porto lost the UEFA Super Cup to AC Milan . Eventually they would reach the round of 16 of the Champions League where they were eliminated by Inter Milan . In the middle of the season Porto also won their second Intercontinental Cup against Once Caldas . Meanwhile Sporting managed to reach the UEFA cup final (which was already chosen to be played at Sporting's Estádio José De Alvalade ) where they lost to CSKA Moscow . The fact that Leiria reached the finals of the Intertoto Cup is also noteworthy. Meanwhile, the ''Selecção Nacional'' (national team) managed to secure a comfortable position that would prove decisive in the qualification for the FIFA World Cup 2006 . HONOURS SUPERLIGA After almost 11 years, the longest "drought" period in Benfica's history comes to an end. It was an awekward season, mainly because of the inconsistency of the chronically title candidates. Never a team had won the championship with such a small amount of points, since victory is equivalent to three points. The 65 points of Benfica would only be sufficient to manage a 4th place in the year before and, considering a percentage of points awarded, their score of 64% wouldn't be enough to place them in first or second place in any other of the previous Portuguese championships. Inconsistency was present in Benfica's season, but their main rivals were no better. In the upper part o the table the Sporting de Braga's season is noteworthy, that was fighting for the title 4 games before the end of the season.
