Qatar 2022 World Cup hopefuls Portugal turned on the style against the Super Eagles on Thursday in an international friendly, scoring a 4-0 victory against the three-time African champions.

A brace from Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes was followed by late goals from Goncalo Ramos and Joao Mario.

The Super Eagles should have reduced the deficit at 2-0 when they were handed a penalty in the 81st minute.

However, Nottingham Forest’s Emmanuel Denis was denied by an impressive Rui Patrício and the post.
