West Ham United finished their Premier League International Cup campaign with a third defeat, losing 2-0 to Benfica at Billericay. 

Both goals came in the first half from Alan Oliveira. Firstly he chipped Rihards Matrevics from 25 yards (pictured above) before heading in his second.

The match proved a good experience for two 15-year-olds in the West Ham defence, Josh Okotcha and Will Greenidge.

While West Ham finished bottom of Group F, Benfica, who are level on three points with Tottenham Hotspur, can pip the north Londoners to the second qualifying spot behind Villarreal if they beat them in January.
