Rúben Vezo

Vezo earned his first cap for the Portugal under-21 side on 5 March 2014 – one month shy of his 20th birthday – playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 home win against Macedonia for the 2015 UEFA European Championship qualifiers. He scored his first goal at that level in the same competition, on 14 October, helping defeat the Netherlands 5–4 in the play-offs, in Paços de Ferreira (7–4 on aggregate).

Fifteen days later, profiting from suspension to compatriot Ricardo Costa, he started and finished the match against Granada CF also at the Mestalla Stadium, and scored his first goal as a professional from a free kick taken by Dani Parejo to help the hosts come from behind in the 90th minute and win it 2–1; in the process, he became the Spanish club's youngest ever foreigner to achieve that feat. In 2015–16, Vezo took part in his first European campaigns in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
