Not obstante the result to have been of 3-0 in favor of the escoceses, the critical one of this country weaveeed the biggest compliments to the actuação of the belenense player to who cognominaram of "the king of the feint". However, it would be in the meeting against England, disputed eighteen days later, in the city of the Port, that Matateu would come to make one of the best exhibitions of always in its career of the International.
In this game, carried through the 22 of May, equip it national wrote one of the most beautiful pages of its historial. Repleto of a enthusiastic multitude, the Stadium of the Tapirs served of scene to this great victory against the old masters of the soccer.
Matateu, that actuou the right interior as already it had made against the Escócia, culminated its shining exhibition with one tries inesquecível. In the end of the sensational prélio, where Portugal was successful for 3-1, the enthusiastic public took Matateu in triumph.
This victory had great international repercussion, as well as the magnificent exhibition of the belenense player.
In the following day to the game, or either, in the monday, 23 of May, the English periodical "Daily Sketch", commented, in sufficiently elogiosos terms, the actuação of Matateu, with a critical one whose heading was: "we were beaten by 8ª wonder".

E was this eighth wonder of the world of the soccer that it lowered and it humiliated, this night, destroçada England and "inebriada", giving to Portugal its first victory on us ".
Analyzing it equips English still says the same periodical to it:
"Matthews Aside remark, we did not have advanced a worthy one to attack the boots of Matateu".
E finished:
"it does not have justification because, with exception of the wonderful Matateu, the Portuguese group was one equips of passeantes - they had only obtained to beat Africa of the South in last of its the 19 international games".
They had not been for the elogiosas references the Matateu here made by the foreign press even because the classroom of the player of Lourenço Marques was each time more notable.
With desbobinar of the time, the characteristics of the fogoso player had suffered some cambiantes. Thus, Matateu, that was especially a player of great area, with powerful and certeiro closing, appears us not evolved in the chapter technician and, of course, more player of equips. Such predicates had been well clear in some exhibitions, want for the Belenenses, want for the national selecção.
In 1955, the Belenenses was Paris to dispute the "Latin Goblet".
Great Di Stéfano and Kopa were "vedetas". However, the name of Matateu also appeared in great characters in periodicals of the city of the Light.
The drawing assigned for adversary of the Belenenses the celebrity equips of the Madrid Real, one of you equip them of bigger projecção in world-wide the football way and where it tacks the extraordinary Di Stéfano.
The luck of the group of Belém was determined and perhaps the result of the prélio was memorable.

However, the critical Frenchman was unanimous in affirming that the 2-0 obtained for the Madrid Real did not represent the truth of the game, since the Belenenses is equips it that better soccer had practised to the long one of the 90 minutes.
The press was mentioned in significant terms to the actuação of Lucas of the Fonseca.
Among others, the French magazine "Miroir Sprint" made the following heading the two photographs, one of Di Stéfano, another one of Matateu:
"Di Stéfano lost the smile front the Matateu".
The legend said:
"Before the Portuguese of the Belenenses, the Madrid Real was many times in difficulty in the continuation of the stocking-end. Di Stéfano, the spite of its classroom and its reputation, nor always led best in face of its fogosos adversaries, between which the left interior Matateu that if disclosed to a terrible aggressor for its mobility and promptitude of shot ".
Paris, as already it had happened with other great cities, relieved homage to the extraordinary facultieses of Matateu, that continued to be one of the cases most sensational of the Portuguese soccer.
