Second‑division side Torreense stunned holders Sporting with a 2‑1 win in the Portuguese Cup final. Kevin Zohi opened the scoring after three minutes, but Luis Suárez equalised for the 18‑time winners at half‑time. In extra time, Sporting’s Maximiliano Araujo was sent off after conceding a penalty, and Stopira converted the spot‑kick to seal the victory in this dramatic encounter today.

Torreense’s triumph marks the club’s first major trophy in 109 years and secures entry to next season’s Europa League. The town of Torres Vedras hosts a 2,500‑seat ground, a stark contrast to Sporting’s stadium. The victory also fuels Torreense’s push for top‑flight promotion, with a play‑off second leg against Casa Pia still pending after a 0‑0 first‑leg draw in the standings.

Sporting finished second in the league this season, following a league‑cup double last year. The cup loss dents their trophy haul and highlights defensive lapses that saw a red card in extra time. Meanwhile, Torreense’s unexpected success injects excitement into Portuguese football and sets the stage for a historic European campaign and offers fans a tale of underdog triumph today.
