Garang Kuol is celebrating down under.

The 18 year old Newcastle United striker scoring his first ever international goal.

Australia playing the first of two friendlies against Ecuador and Garang Kuol introduced in today’s match in the 78th minute, with the score 2-1 to Australia.

Only six minutes later, the NUFC forward sweeping the ball home with his left foot for a very special moment.

The perfect confidence boost as Garang Kuol has struggled for game time on loan at Hearts, only one start and 198 minutes on the pitch since his January move from St James’ Park.

This can only do the young striker the power of good and no doubt hoping to potentially start when Australia play Ecuador again on Tuesday.

Italy 1 England 2 (Euro 2024 Group Qualifier)

Kieran Trippier an 81st minute sub, coming on for Phil Foden directly after Luke Shaw was sent off with England leading 2-1 at the time.

The Newcastle United defender helping to get England over the line in a match that they threatened to throw away, when in reality they should have had it sewn up with Rice and Kane goals before half-time.

Poor defending by Harry Maguire allowing Italy to pull it back to 2-1 in the 56th minute.

Jamal Lewis subbed off on 74 minutes and replaced by former NUFC defender Shane Ferguson.
