Guimaraes, Portugal: Roberto Martinez's Portugal dismantled Sweden 5-2 in a friendly ahead of this summer's European Championships without talisman striker Cristiano Ronaldo.
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United hitman, 39, was rested by Martinez but his team strolled to an easy victory regardless in Guimaraes.
Rafael Leao, Matheus Nunes and Bruno Fernandes all struck for the rampant hosts in the first half.
Bruma and Goncalo Ramos added to Portugal's tally after the break, while Sweden attackers Viktor Gyokeres and Gustaf Nilsson netted at the other end.
"I really liked the commitment and very good spirit," said Martinez, who has 11 wins from 11 matches at the helm.
