    Second division side Torreense scored a penalty in extra time to shock holders Sporting and win the Portuguese Cup.

    Kevin Zohi put Torreense ahead after three minutes but Luis Suarez equalised for 18-time winners Sporting at the start of the second half.

    Sporting’s Uruguay left-back Maximiliano Araujo was sent off in extra time after conceding a penalty and Cape Verde defender Stopira scored the winner from the spot.

    The first major trophy in their 109-year history grants Torreense entry to the Europa League next season.

    Torreense are from Torres Vedras, a town 25 miles north of Lisbon, and play in a stadium that holds about 2,500 spectators.

    They had previously reached the Portuguese Cup final once before, when they lost to Porto in 1956.

    They have a chance of promotion to the top flight, with the second leg of their play-off on Thursday against Casa Pia poised at 0-0 after the first game.

    Sporting finished second in the league this season having won the league and cup double last year.
