German-born Ghanaian defender Steffen Nkansah was in action for Germany's U19 side when they held England to a 1-1 stalemate in Oberhausen in an international friendly on Monday evening.
The 18-year-old Borussia Monchengladbach center-back climbed off the bench just before the start of the second-half to replace Lukas Klostermann and solidified the German's defence.
England took an early lead through Bradley Fewster but Germany equalised through Timo Werner in the 69th following a strong second-half performance incensed by the introduction of Nkansah.
Nkansah, a former captain for the German's U17 side, was in commanding form and marshaled most of the German attacks, pacing fearlessly through the defence and edging his team-mates on.
