EFL Championship side Hull City beat Benfica 1-0 in a pre-season friendly at the Estadio Algarve on Saturday.
Ex-England U19 skipper Ola Aina put in a full shift for the Tigers, and the right wing-back was delighted that his team were able to overcome the former European champions.
Bowen broke the deadlock with a superb strike, finding the top corner with a sweet curling effort from a tight angle in the 59th minute.
