Portugal's next top talent shows his class

Often matches between youth teams are used to showcase the next top talents that international football has in store for us. The focus sometimes turns more towards South America, because of the type of football that is played there, leaving the European continent in second place.

One of Europe's traditional providers of youth academy talent is Portugal, who seem to have found the continent's next big star. Bruno Tavares, of Sporting CP's academy, showed his class in the match against Belarus, providing an incredible goal. 

He received the ball on the right-side of the area. As a left-footed player with abilities on both sides, he pretended to cut back before smashing a shot towards goal on his left. 

His shot found the near post and was impossible for the Belarusian goalkeeper to keep out.
