"It has been many years now, but it is always a good memory," Eusebio told reporters of the 1966 World Cup quarter-final match in England.
The Asian side had reached the last eight by beating Italy and were set to extend their fairytale when they took a 3-0 lead against Portugal. But then Eusebio took charge, scoring four times to lead his side to a 5-3 win.
"I believe that will happen, we will win," he said. "I hope Portugal scores early and if it ends with a 1-0 win, it's fine as we need the three points."
Portugal drew 0-0 in a cautious opening match against the Ivory Coast, and have vowed to adopt a more attacking approach to Monday's game in Cape Town.
"At the time I did not even dream of going on to the pitch and scoring the four goals," he said. "Every professional footballer has his day during his career, and that was my day and we managed to turn it around."
