Portugal vs Cyprus 4-0 Highlights & Goals
International Friendly, 03 June 2017.
1-0 Joao Moutinho
2-0 Joao Moutinho
3-0 Pizzi
4-0 Andre Silva
Portugal are well on track to qualify for the World Cup fresh off their triumph at Euro 2016. Fernando Santos' men will be aiming to add another title to their haul in the Confederations Cup this month.
Portugal will have to win today without many of their key players, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe playing in the Champions League final this evening. As a result, it will be a little while before they link up with their international colleagues.
Portugal still name a strong line-up even without the presence of Ronaldo. Andre Silva leads the line, with Joao Mario, Bernardo Silva and Nani in close support. Joao Moutinho and Danilo will play in a anchor role in midfield, allowing Cedric Soares and Eliseu to push down the flanks.
Portugal cruise to a comfortable win this afternoon over Cyprus thanks to a brace from Joao Moutinho, with two stunning first-half free-kicks. Andre Silva and Pizzi also found the net in the second half to send Selecao into their World Cup qualifier against Latvia next week.
