I have the following line-up for Portgual's game against Malta the 24/1 1993:

Vítor Baía, João Domingos Silva Pinto, Veloso, Fernando Couto, Hélder, Oceano, Rui Araújo (João Manuel Vieira Pinto 51'), José Semedo, Domingos (Jaime Magalhães 64'), Rui Águas, Figo.

I can't find any information about Rui Araújo, which makes me think that the line-up is wrong. The only Portuguese national team player named Rui Araújo I've found was active in the 1930's. Can you please help me find the correct line-up?

the player in question has to be Vitor Paneira who played the game.

According to "Almanaco da Seleccao", published in Portugal in the eve of the European Cup in 2004, the Portuguese line-up for that match against Malta (24/01/1993), was the following one:

Vítor Baía (FCP) - Joao Pinto (FCP) (cap), Fernando Couto (FCP), Hélder (Bf), Veloso (Bf) - Oceano (R. Sociedad) - V. Paneira (Bf), Semedo (FCP), Figo (Sp) - Rui Águas (Bf), Domingos (FCP)

Substitutions: V. Paneira (out), Joao V. Pinto (Bf) (in) m.56/Semedo (out), Jaime Magalhaes (FCP) (in) m.75

As you can see, there is no one Rui Araújo here.
