Louis Zecevic John helped Serbia qualify for this summer's UEFA European Under-19 Championship, taking place in Wales.
Our forward's nation was drawn alongside Poland, Serbia and England in the final round of qualifying, with one spot up for grabs at the yearly tournament.
Louis started Serbia's 2-0 win over England, which featured Max Dowman. The forward was an unused sub in the 1-1 draw with Portugal before starting the 1-0 victory over Poland in the final group game.
Despite Max scoring for England in their 6-0 win over Portugal, it was Serbia that clinched first spot and will head to Wales for the eight-team competition this summer.
Louis will be alongside Wales' Brayden Clarke, who captained the under-19s in a warm-up match against the USA ahead of the tournament. Brayden played 58 minutes as the US won 4-0.
Elsewhere, Ceadach O'Neill netted from the penalty spot in Northern Ireland under-19's 1-0 win over Kazakhstan.
Great win for Gareth McAuley’s U19 side in the Elite Round of the Euro qualifiers 👏

O'Neill also played in Northern Ireland's 1-0 loss to Ukraine as his side narrowly missed out on qualification for the Euro under-19s.
Demiane Agustien played 58 minutes in the Netherlands under-19s encounter with Finland. The Dutch prevailed 3-0 in their qualifying clash. Demiane didn't feature in the Netherlands' final two group matches as they also missed out on the finals this summer.
Elsewhere, the under-18s were attempting to qualify for next summer's Euro under-19s competition.
Jack Porter featured in the England under-18s, playing one of the three matches as the Young Lions lost 3-1 to Spain. The under-18s picked up two victories to secure passage to the Round 2 League A phase, where they'll aim to qualify for next summer's competition in Slovakia.
In the same age bracket, Alex Marciniak played 45 minutes in a 0-0 draw against France for Wales, and the first half in a 4-0 defeat against Hungary. Despite the loss, Wales also progressed to the next round.
In the under-17s, Marli Salmon played two of England's three matches. Marli helped England win 3-0 against Faroe Islands before losing their second match. England then beat Estonia 2-0 but failed to qualify.
Lastly, Patrick Stachow represented Poland under-17s in their 3-0 defeat against Ireland. The Poles failed to progress, despite beating Slovakia and drawing with Croatia.
