Cape Verde's 2-0 win over Portugal was the most eye-catching international result of the week.

Cape Verde sent shockwaves around football on Tuesday night by beating Portugal in Estoril.

The Blue Sharks secured a memorable 2-0 win over Fernando Santos' men, with Odair Fortes opening the scoring after 37 minutes in fortuitous fashion

Centre-back Gege grabbed the second with an expert far-post finish after a free kick, as the team from the tiny African archipelago held on comfortably to record the victory.

It was made even more remarkable after a disappointing Africa Cup of Nations campaign, which saw Cape Verde eliminated in the group stages after drawing games against Tunisia, DR Congo and Zambia.
