Varzim had a night to remember in Barcelos where they dumped Sporting Clube de Portugal out of the Taça de Portugal after a 1-0 win.
The Lions were completely dominant in the opening exchanges before the 3 Liga club worked their way into the contest.
Rúben Amorim’s side failed to turn their superiority into goals however, and continually conceded set pieces in dangerous positions which was their downfall.
The breakthrough came in the 70th minute when João Faria finished off a free kick, Varzim holding on under pressure to claim a famous victory.
