Stopira at the Estádio Nacional

Kévin Zohi put Torreense ahead in the 4th minute, and Luis Suárez brought Sporting level in the 54th. That left the final locked at 1-1 through regulation and pushed it into extra time, where Stopira handled the decisive kick.

Mohamed Ali-Diadié had a goal disallowed in the 94th minute, a swing that kept the match from turning before the late penalty arrived. Rui Silva started in goal for Sporting, while Luís Tralhão managed Torreense from the touchline.

Sporting and the 113th minute

The finish turned on the penalty incident itself. Stopira scored in the 113th minute to make it 2-1, and Maxi Araújo was shown a direct red card after the play, leaving Sporting to close the final with one fewer player.

Sporting fans were already leaving the stands of the Estádio Nacional as the match moved into its decisive stretch. Torreense kept the final alive long enough for the winning kick to arrive, and the club walked away with a trophy it had never lifted before.

Torreense and the first title

This result gives Torreense its first Taça de Portugal and ends the club’s wait for a national cup title. It also sends Sporting away empty-handed after a final that changed hands three times: Torreense ahead, Sporting level, then Torreense again when Stopira struck from the spot.
