JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Hugo Almeida scored twice Tuesday to lead Portugal over Mozambique 3-0 in a World Cup warmup match.
After failing to convert their dominance into goals in the first half, the Portuguese scored three times in 30 minutes after the break.
Danny met a pass from Deco, sidestepped the goalkeeper and tapped in the ball in the 51st minute. He then crossed from the left to set up Almeida’s short-range strike.
The goalkeeper couldn’t hold a fierce shot from substitute Cristiano Ronaldo in the 82nd and Almeida tapped in the rebound.
Mozambique was the last of three African teams the Portuguese played in recent weeks before opening Group G play in the World Cup against Ivory Coast on June 15.
