Jose Peseiro, the head coach of Nigeria, stated that Portugal beat the Super Eagles 4-0 last night using their best team.
Nigeria lost their fifth straight friendly game because they were no match for the Euro 2016 champions.
Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United scored for the home team after seven minutes and doubled the lead from the penalty spot in the 35th.
Gonçalo Ramos quickly added the third goal in the 83rd minute, and Joo Mário completed the scoring after Emmanuel Dennis missed a good opportunity to change the course of the game from the penalty spot.
“We have to improve and improve a lot. It was a first half below what we expected, the second was much better,” Peseiro told A Bola.
“Portugal was better, they are superior, they have a great selection, but the scoreline is heavy and exaggerated because we could have made it 2-1 and then we suffered 0-3 and 0-4. We cannot concede four goals and some of them the way they were.”
