BOGOTA, Colombia — Oscar scored a three times to lead Brazil to a 3-2 win over Portugal in extra time on Saturday, winning the Under-20 World Cup.

Oscar got the winner in the 111th minute, lobbing a shot from the right that was touched by Portugal keeper Mika onto the underside of the crossbar and went in. He also scored in the fifth minute, and again in the 78th.

Alex had leveled in the ninth minute for Portugal and Nelson Oliveira's 59th minute goal had put the Europeans ahead but Brazil fought back to take its fifth U-20 world title, having been the runner-up two years ago.
