Portugal vs Norway. International Match.

Portugal 3-0 Norway: Ricardo Quaresma stars in comfortable warm-up win
Monday 30 May 2016 08:27, UK
Portugal made sure the absence of top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, resting the day after after Real Madrid's Champions League triumph, went unnoticed as they beat Norway 3-0 in a Euro 2016 warm-up on Sunday.
Ronaldo would have been impressed with the finishing of his international team mates as Ricardo Quaresma and Raphael Guerreiro netted spectacular goals before Eder added a clinical third at the Dragao stadium.
Winger Quaresma fired them ahead against Norway, who failed to make the Euros, with a viciously swerving shot from the edge of the area in the 13th minute.
It was then Guerreiro's turn to impress as the 22-year-old left-back curled in a delightful free kick in the 65th minute.
Portugal continued to press and their towering striker Eder made it 3-0 five mintues later, sweeping home a perfect low cross from the right by midfielder Joao Mario.
