He made a total of eight appearances by the season’s end, before travelling on the post-season tour to Asia, where he netted two goals in victory over Hong Kong, China.
This experience with Denmark is the final addition to an excellent season of development for the 17-year-old. Playing against opponents older than him, he made an assist in the opening game against Mexico — a 3-3 draw — before netting against both Congo and Japan.
Against the former, he wrapped up a 2-0 victory late on with a right-footed drive from outside the box. His goal against Japan was scruffier, but the result of good pressing in the opposition’s box. That opened the scoring in a 3-0 win.
