LISBON, May 31 (Reuters) - Porto beat Pacos de Ferreira 1-0 to win the Portuguese Cup final and complete the domestic double on Sunday.

Lisando Lopez scored with a shot in the seventh minute in a game dominated by Porto, although Pacos de Ferreira had a few chances in the first half during their first ever Cup final appearance.

Porto's victory secured their 14th cup triumph, within striking distance of Sporting's record 15 titles.

Porto wrapped up their fourth successive league title this month. (Reporting by Axel Bugge; Editing by Ed Osmond, To query or comment on this story email sportsfeedback@thomsonreuters.com)
