His hattrick in the U20 WC Final.
(No. 11)

Brazil 3 - 2 Portugal -Final Mundial Sub-20 -20/08/2011

Oscar, who had impressed throughout the tournament on the left side of Brazil's midfield diamond, then completed the win in extra time with what was either a brilliantly audacious chip from the right flank, or a fortuitously mishit chip. His performances through the tournament probably earned him the benefit of the doubt.

It was Henrique, the center forward, that FIFA named player of the tournament, yet another mystifying decision in the fine tradition of bizarre choices. Henrique, who had begun the tournament as a substitute, played well, and scored five goals but even he seemed a little nonplussed by the award. "I think I would choose Oscar, who had an excellent tournament," he said. "He helped the team a lot, playing in an unaccustomed position. He marked well, he got forward. He made a lot of assists, and scored the goals in the final which not anybody could have done."
