Josh Maja, who was handed a late call-up to the national team's training camp in March, and Sweden U21 international of Nigerian heritage Joel Asoro started for the Black Cats, while ex-Flying Eagles sensation Musa Yahaya was a non-playing substitute for Porto.
The visitors had put the game to bed at the end of the first half as they were leading 3-0, courtesy of a brace from Galeano and an additional tally from Pereira on the stroke of half-time.
On 55 minutes, Awaziem added more gloss to the scoreline when he peeled away at the far post to place a header beyond Max Stryjek.
Josh Maja came very close to a goal in the 65th minute but his effort went narrowly wide, and Asoro was almost credited with an assist a minute later, only for Luke Molyneux to volley just over the bar.
