Farense in last sixteen

Following their shock victory over Primeira Liga side Estoril Praia in the third round of the Portugal Cup, non-league SC Farense overcame Segunda Liga Leixões in round four to reach the last sixteen.

The visitors took the lead through Jaime after 28 minutes but, 10 minutes later, Léo Tomé popped up to slot home the equaliser.

Okechukwu Irobiso’s second-half winner was just reward for the Faro club’s fantastic start to the season which sees them firmly established as league leaders.
