Sporting starlet dazzles for Portugal with magical piece of skill (video) | OneFootball

The National Under-16 Team won the Algarve Tournament this Tuesday by defeating Germany 3-1, in a match where José Garrafa stood out significantly. Beyond winning the trophy flawlessly, with three victories in three games, the match was highlighted by a technical moment that quickly gained attention among Sporting fans.

Portugal initially fell behind, with Vedad Turbic putting the Germans ahead just eight minutes in, but the response from the team led by Filipe Ramos was swift. The forward from Sporting's youth team took center stage by successfully converting a penalty at 25 minutes, leveling the score and reigniting the match still in the first half.

Even needing only a draw to secure first place, the Portuguese team maintained an ambitious stance. Diego Farinha put Portugal - which featured CR7's son in the previous match - ahead just before halftime, at 44 minutes, and an own goal by Ben Nwachukwu at 53 sealed the Portuguese victory against the German team.

Despite the goals, the most talked-about moment of the match had a Sporting signature. José Garrafa executed a dribble that did not go unnoticed, leaving Demir Eymen completely outplayed with a nutmeg followed by an elastic move, a moment that drew immediate reactions both on and off the field and promises to go viral on social media.

The young Sporting player thus confirmed the good form he is in, being one of the standout figures of a National Team that finished the Algarve Tournament without any slip-ups. Germany finished in second place, while Japan and the Netherlands completed the final standings of the competition.
