In the 1963 Portuguese Cup final, Mascarenhas scored once in a 4–0 victory over Vitória de Guimarães. The following campaign, in Sporting's victorious campaign in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, he netted six times in a 16–1 home rout of APOEL FC (European competition record), adding another in the final against MTK Budapest FC, the 3–3 leading to a replay in Antwerp which ended with a 1–0 win for the Lions.[1][2]
