Baichung Bhutia scored a brace as the Indian football team registered a convincing 3-0 victory over Portugal's third division side Recreativo Agueda at the Estadio Municipal in Lisbon on Sunday.

Bhutia's goals in 63rd and 86th minutes guided India to its first victory in two matches on the Portugal tour.

India were 1-0 up at half-time through a goal scored by Manjit Singh in the 27th minute.

The team will now lock horns with another third division outfit, A C Marinhense, on Thursday before the final game against Estoril Praia on Saturday.

In the opening match, India drew with second division side Odivelas FC 1-1.
