Portugal's Bernardo Silva scored a typical individual goal as their new-look side recovered to win 3-2 away to Poland in the Nations League with an impressive performance on Thursday.
Andre Silva's strike and a Kamil Glik own goal put the European champions ahead by halftime, after Krzysztof Piątek had given Poland an early lead, and Silva then got in the act early in the second half of the League A Group 3 game.
Poland substitute Jakub Błaszczykowski, making his 103rd appearance as he became his country's most capped player, pulled a goal back but it was not enough for the hosts.
Błaszczykowski may soon be overtaken by Poland's best-ever scorer and current captain, Robert Lewandowski. Bayern Munich striker played his 100th game for Polish side and is very likely to remain Poland coach's first-choice player for a few more years.
Poland will have a chance to grab their first win under coach Jerzy Brzęczek on Sunday, when they will face Roberto Mancini's crisis-stricken Italian side.
After two games Portugal, who were without their rested talisman Cristiano Ronaldo, top the group with six points, while Poland and Italy have one apiece.
