Nélson Miguel Castro Oliveira (born 8 August 1991) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Deportivo de La Coruña on loan from S.L. Benfica, as a striker.

Club career

Born in Barcelos, Oliveira finished his youth career at S.L. Benfica, having arrived at age 15 from Sporting de Braga, being a prolific scorer for both clubs. He made his first team debut in a 2008–09 pre-season friendly against G.D. Estoril Praia, courtesy of manager Quique Flores, and was even called to a UEFA Cup match against S.S.C. Napoli, but eventually returned to the juniors.

The same happened to Oliveira in 2009–10. However, in January 2010, he made his professional – and first division – debuts, being loaned until June to Rio Ave FC; his first game came on 7 February, as he played the last 10 minutes of the 2–0 home win against Leixões SC.

Oliveira's loan was initially extended for the entirety of the 2010–11 season but, on 12 August 2010, he moved to F.C. Paços de Ferreira, in the same predicament.[1] He scored on his debut on 12 September, a 1–1 draw at C.S. Marítimo and, the following month, helped Paços come from behind at Associação Naval 1º de Maio (2–1), scoring the winning goal from a direct free kick.

On 14 October 2011, Oliveira made his official debut for Benfica, playing 45 minutes in a 2–0 away win against Portimonense S.C. for the season's Portuguese Cup.[2] On 18 January of the following year, he playing the entire game against C.D. Santa Clara for the League Cup group stage, and scored in a 2–0 home win;[3] the following month, for the same competition – the Portuguese Football Federation ruled that, for the tournament, at least two national players would have to appear in a game for 45 minutes – he opened the score against Marítimo (3–0, home).[4]

On 6 March 2012, Oliveira made his UEFA Champions League debut, playing only ten minutes but scoring the final goal in a 2–0 home win against FC Zenit Saint Petersburg, with Benfica qualifying to the last-eight 4–3 on aggregate.[5]

On 31 July 2012, Oliveira moved to Deportivo de La Coruña in Spain in a season-long loan, alongside several compatriots.[6] On 20 August, in the La Liga opener against CA Osasuna, he scored his first goal, netting from a counter-attack in the 90th minute to make it 2–0 for the hosts.[7]

International career

Youth

Oliveira represented the Portuguese under-17 team in the qualification for the 2008 UEFA European Football Championship. In 2009, he was named in the squad for the European Under-19 Championship qualifying tournament, but the country failed to ensure a place in the finals in Ukraine; the following year, in the same category, he represented the nation at European Championship, scoring one goal in the 2–0 win against Italy.[8]

On 22 May 2011, Oliveira appeared with the under-20s in the 2011 Toulon Tournament,[9] where he played three matches and netted once. He also helped the team finish second in that year's FIFA World Cup held in Colombia, scoring four goals – including one in the final against Brazil, a 2–3 extra time loss – and providing two assists. He received the Man of the match award twice in addition to the Silver Ball for the second best player in the tournament.

Oliveira made his debut for the under-21 team on 6 October 2011, in a Euro 2013 qualification match against Poland. On 11 November, for the same competition, he scored a brace against Moldova (5–0 home win).

Senior team

On 24 February 2012, Oliveira was called-up for the first time to the senior team, for a friendly match with Poland.[10] He replaced Nani for the last ten minutes of the 0–0 draw in Warsaw,[11] and eventually made it to the list of 23 for UEFA Euro 2012.[12]

Oliveira played 20 minutes in the group stage opener against Germany after coming on for Hélder Postiga, in an eventual 0–1 loss.[13]

In Portugal's next game after Euro 2012, Oliveira scored his first international goal, in a 2–0 win against Panama.[14]
