Portugal 3-0 Sweden
Hosts Portugal triumphed in the Under-21 Vale do Tejo tournament thanks to a comfortable win against Sweden in Rio Maior in which Paulo Machado scored twice.

Machado double
Portugal, who defeated Scotland on Tuesday while Sweden overcame Ukraine, were in control from the first whistle and took a 16th-minute lead through Vieirinha, who converted a Miguel Veloso pass. The pattern continued into the second half, with Paulo Machado particularly influential and adding a second goal from a Carlos Saleiro cross eight minutes past the hour. The former player wrapped up the victory four minutes from time after good work from João Moutinho. Scotland and Ukraine finished joint third in the competition after playing out a 2-2 draw in today's other match.
