Goncalo Guedes scored twice to boost his chances of starting at the World Cup as Portugal beat Algeria 3-0 in a friendly in Lisbon.
Cristiano Ronaldo had a goal ruled out for offside before Guedes, who spent last season on loan at Valencia from Paris St-Germain, scored from Bernardo Silva’s cushioned header.
Midfielder Bruno Fernandes headed home Ronaldo’s cross to double the lead.
Raphael Guerreiro’s cross was then headed in by 21-year-old winger Guedes.
European champions Portugal’s first match in Russia is against 2010 world champions Spain in Sochi on 15 June (19:00 BST).
Algeria, who reached the knockout stage in 2014, failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 2006.
