Sam Magri helped England under-17s progress to the Elite Qualifying Round of the 2011 European Championship.
The 16-year-old Pompey defender scored as the Three Lions beat Sweden in the opening game of their qualifying group in Georgia.
His strike was sandwiched between two Hallam Hope goals and delighted boss John Peacock.
He said: “Sweden were relatively direct and caused us a few problems in the opening 15-20 minutes, but that second goal really settled us down and we then started to take control of the game.”
Magri was an unused substitute for England’s other two group games.
A 1-1 draw with host nation Georgia – who also qualified for the Elite Round – and a 1-0 victory over Poland saw England top the group.
