Another highly productive weekend for Portuguese scorers abroad was led by some outstanding strikes, particularly by Nuno Tavares with Lazio, Gonçalo Guedes at Real Sociedad and Bruno Jordão for CSKA Sofia. Dário Essugo and Danuel Bragança opened their accounts in France and Italy respectively, while Cristiano Ronaldo, Francisco Trincão and Paulinho also made their mark.

Daniel Bragança was named Player of the Match after his first goal in Italian football helped Torino beat Udinese 2-1 at home in Serie A on Monday night.
Bruno Jordão was the star man for Bulgarian giants CSKA Sofia this weekend, scoring the first and last goal to give them a 3-2 win at FC CSKA 1948. The second of Jordao’s brace was especially stunning, not least because it arrived in the final minute to win the match.
David da Costa scored for the second consecutive week in the United States with Portland Timbers, notching the opener as his side drew 3-3 at Sporting Kansas City.

Former Benfica man Tiago Dantas scored from the penalty spot in Croatia, but could not prevent his Rijeka side from going down 4-1 to Slaven Belupo. In Romania, Sergio Ribeiro’s penalty helped Corvinul beat Voluntari 3-2 in the Superliga, while in Indonesia Eduardo Barbosa scored twice to give Persik Kediri a 2-0 win over Madura United.
Finally, the Bulgarian league continues to provide regular scorers beyond Bruno Jordão’s exploits.
