The Derby de Lisboa or Dérbi de Lisboa (English: Lisbon derby) also known as Dérbi da Capital (derby of the capital) or Dérbi da Segunda Circular (Segunda Circular derby) is the biggest football derby match in Portugal. It is played between Lisbon-based clubs Benfica and Sporting, two of the most decorated clubs in the country.
