Another of the strong Angolan strikeforce, Mateus won his place in the World Cup squad after impressing in their recent COSAFA Castle Cup campaign.

A quickfire brace against Mauritius in late April showed the 26-year-old's talent and he convinced Luis Oliveira Goncalves to take a chance on a man who didn't feature in qualifying.

Currently playing his club football in Portugal for Gil Vicente, Mateus faces stiff competition for a starting berth but is the sort of player who could make an impact off the bench.
