Portugal win Toulon with goal from winger on Benfica's radar | OneFootball

The national under-20 team were crowned winners of the Maurice Revello Tournament, better known as the Toulon Tournament, after beating Tunisia 2-0 in the final played this Saturday. The side coached by Oceano Cruz thus won the prestigious trophy for the fourth time in its history, following its triumphs in 1992, 2001 and 2003.

Despite Portugal’s dominance at various moments of the match, the final was marked by balance. The Tunisian side created some chances to equalise, but came up against an inspired Diogo Fernandes, who proved decisive between the posts for the national team.

Among the standout performers in Portugal’s campaign was João Rego. The Benfica attacking midfielder was again included in the starting eleven for the final and finished the competition as one of the team’s key players, after scoring three goals over the course of the tournament.

Several spectators invaded the pitch, waving Portuguese and Tunisian flags, a situation that forced the teams to head quickly to the dressing rooms, making the usual on-pitch trophy presentation ceremony impossible.
