Hayden Hackney gave the England team a seventh-minute lead, before Nwaneri doubled the advantage just three minutes later, curling the ball into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

Although Fabio Silva pulled a goal back for the Portuguese team, they were unable to withstand the superior firepower of the hosts, who added two more goals through Omari Hutchinson and Jaden Philogene.

Despite his heroics, Nwaneri was substitute off for Liam Delap in the 71st minute.
