A hat-trick from Oscar lifted Brazil to a 3-2 extra-time triumph over Portugal on Saturday in the final of the under-20 World Cup. After opening the scoring in the fifth minute, Oscar struck a second half equaliser that sent the match to extra-time after full-time saw the teams deadlocked at 2-2.
Oscar got the winner in the 111th minute, lofting a ball from the right that arched over Portugal keeper Mika and gave Brazil a fifth under-20 World Cup title after their runner-up finish two years ago. Although Brazil started the favourites over a Portuguese team seeking a third under-20 crown, the match was tightly contested throughout.
