England Eliminated from 2019 Toulon Tournament with 3-2 Loss to Portugal

England's under-20 men's national team were knocked out of the 2019 Toulon Tournament on Tuesday after being beaten 3-2 by Portugal to slip to their second defeat in two games in France.

The holders took the lead after just eight minutes through Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah, but Portugal hit back when Marcos Nascimento beat goalkeeper Ryan Schofield at his near post.

Portugal then scored twice in three minutes at the end of the first half to take control of the match. Goncalo Cardoso headed a deep cross past Schofield before Felix Correira volleyed home a cross from the right.
