With three Dragons on the pitch and one of them scoring twice, Portugal’s under-20 national team thrashed Canada 6-1 this Thursday in the match that brought Group B of the Maurice Revello Tournament to a close, played in the French city of Toulon.

Goalkeeper João Afonso, centre-back Luís Gomes and forward Tiago Andrade were brought on by Oceano Cruz at half-time, and the latter needed only 13 minutes to open the scoring with an excellent header. But he did not stop there, also grabbing a brace with a low angled shot (75 mins). The other Dragon on the team sheet, goalkeeper Diogo Fernandes, remained on the bench.
