Cristiano Ronaldo's eldest son, Cristiano Ronaldo Júnior, made his debut for Portugal under-17s in a 4-0 win over Andorra in Thursday's European Championship qualifier in Lisbon.
The Al Nassr academy forward came off the bench in the 73rd minute with the hosts already leading 4-0 thanks to a brace from Sporting CP's Diego Farinha, a penalty kick from Santos FC's Kauã Miranda and a 60th-minute goal from Braga's Rafael Cabral.
Ronaldo Jr., 16, came close to scoring his team's fifth late in the game but his header went wide.
His debut with the U17s comes just one week after his father announced his retirement from international football after 23 years representing Portugal at the highest level and scoring a record 146 goals in 234 games.
