Both players offered their condolences to the families of the victims of the forest fires that have devastated the nation

Portugal duo Pepe and Ricardo Quaresma paid tribute to the victims of the devastating forest fires in their home country following their opening Confederations Cup game.

Quaresma was on the scoresheet as the Euro 2016 winners were held to a 2-2 draw by Mexico in their Group A clash at Kazan Arena.

A moment's silence was held prior to kick-off in recognition of the victims of the fires that have swept through the Pedrogao Grande region, which are said to have killed 61 people and injured dozens more.
