On the day his father scored two goals to help Al Nassr win the Saudi championship, Cristiano dos Santos also bagged a brace as he continues the first steps of his budding football career in Portugal’s youth teams.

Cristianinho scored twice in a 3-0 win for the Seleção over Greece in the UEFA U16 Development Tournament, held in Bragança in northern Portugal.

It followed up a 2-0 victory over the Czech Republic in Portugal’s first match.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. opened the scoring after just five minutes, heading in after a fine dribble and cross by Martim Simão.

The young striker doubled Portugal’s lead shortly after half time, taking advantage of a mistake by Greece goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzatzakis.

Cristiano dos Santos has now scored five goals in 12 games for Portugal’s under-16 team.

Gonçalo Silva made in 3-0 in the 76th minute, tapping in from close range after some brilliant wing play by José Garrafa.

The winners of the tournament will be decided on Sunday when the Seleção face Italy, who have also won their two games in the four-team group.
