Portugal vs. Gibraltar: Score and Reaction from 2016 International Friendly

Portugal beat Gibraltar 5-0 in an international friendly at the Estadio do Bessa XXI, Porto on Thursday night as the Euro 2016 winners found the back of the net with consummate ease.

Two goals from Nani opened the floodgates, as Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva scored their first goals for their country, allowing Pepe to add a fifth with a fine header late in the match.

Fernando Santos named eight of the squad that played in the Euro final at the Stade de France in his starting line-up. Nani captained the team in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was out injured, while Eder and Ricardo Quaresma were handed starting berths in attack.
