However, the game wasn’t without its twists. Portugal rallied strongly in the closing stages, staging a dramatic comeback by scoring twice within the last 15 minutes of the match. This late surge from the Portuguese side ensured that the game ended in a 2-2 draw, despite England’s earlier lead.

His goal, a result of a well-timed and precise finish, highlights his growing maturity and potential as a future star.
Carter Pinnington, another promising young talent from Liverpool, also had a notable impact.

His performance not only highlights his defensive capabilities but also his growing influence in attacking situations.
As England U18s continue their campaign in the Lafarge Foot Avenir Tournament, they will face Switzerland on Friday and conclude their group stage with a match against hosts France.
