Joao Moutinho curled in two free kicks as Portugal eased to a 4-0 friendly victory over Cyprus.

Portugal needed just three minutes to open the scoring, with Moutinho firing home a set piece in off the crossbar.

And Moutinho then added his and Portugal's second three minutes before the break, bending another free kick into the same top corner.

Pizzi made it three for the hosts in the 63rd minute, slotting in Andre Silva's delivery from close range.

And Silva himself then got on the scoresheet seven minutes later, heading home Andre Gomes' cross into the bottom corner.
