Fulham’s under 18s were unfortunate to lose a five-goal thriller to FC Porto this afternoon as their Portuguese pre-season training camp came to an end.
The Whites opened the scoring through Bashil Lubega but found themselves pegged back when Callum Cliff put through his own net. Harley Platel put Ali Melloul’s side back in front early in the second half, but Porto were more clinical in front of goal as the heat seemed to affect the visitors – scoring two late goals to secure victory.
FULHAM UNDER 18s (4-4-2): Mayer (Cech 45’); Benchaita (Faux 45’), Cooke (Schutter 17’) (Benchaita 75’), Cliff, Hall (Morrison 60’); Gomins (Khan 45’), De-Gale (Gomins 75’), Cavell, Platel (Batra 75’); Lubega (Dair 60’), Batra (Evans 45’).
