Promising Bluebirds striker James Crole found the back of the net in Wales under-18s' 2-2 draw with Finland.
Rob Edwards' side took on the Finns at Colliers Park in Wrexham on Monday morning and it was Crole, who has emerged as a real budding talent within Cardiff's youth ranks, opened the scoring.
The visitors hit back with two goals to take the lead before Swansea City's Joel Cotterill grabbed the equaliser. Joel Colwill, brother of Rubin, and Morgan Wigley also started the game for Wales.
Crole has stepped up to Cardiff's under-23s in recent months, given the promotions and loans of Isaak Davies, Kieron Evans and Chanka Zimba, and has taken to it like a duck to water.
The 18-year-old is the under-23s' second-top scorer, behind Zimba, with five goals for Darren Purse's side.
