Midfielder Haminu Dramani made a huge statement about his credentials when he scored a brace on his debut for Gil Vicente in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday.
The Gilistas beat lower division side Ribeirao 4-1 as they prepare for the Primeira Liga.
The former Arles-Avignon winger opened the scoring in the 10th minute before double scores eight minutes later.
Joao Vilela and Ely scored the remaining goals after Nelsinho had reduced the deficit after 23 minutes.
Dramani has been out of active football since January but kept his form by training with his former side Heart of Lions in Ghana.
