Milan and Roma can smile: André Silva and Hector Moreno both did well
8 minutes plus stoppage time. That's all that André Silva got in today's Confederation cup game game between Portugal and Mexico (2-2 FT). Even so, the young rising star proved his worth as he added a physical presence up front for the Portuguese national side.

A few minutes after this, he was part of the build-up play which saw Portugal take a 2-1 lead late on. He then showed off his skills as he found Gelson Martins on a counter-attack, who failed to convert the pass. Too bad for Portugal as they left a stoppage time goal and Mexico earned a 2-2 draw. Even so, André Silva proved his worth as it will be hard for coach Santos to keep him on the bench for their next game against Russia.
