Jobe Bellingham is officially up and running at Borussia Dortmund.
The teenager made the most of his first start for the German giants as he scored on the stroke of half-time in his side's thrilling 4-3 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns at the Club World Cup
Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams pushed away a cross from the right flank, but it only went as far as Bellingham, who was just inside the edge of the box.
The Englishman chested the ball and let it bounce before he fired home past Williams, who was rooted to the spot.
Bellingham's goal put Dortmund 3-1 ahead after Felix Nmecha and Serhou Guirassy cancelled out Lucas Ribeiro Costa's 11th-minute opener for the South African side.
Although Bellingham will be delighted to have bagged his first goal for the club, it wasn't enough to surpass his brother, Jude.
The elder Bellingham joined Dortmund in July 2020 at the age of 17 and also scored in his first start for the club, which was a DFB-Pokal clash against third-tier outfit MSV Duisburg.
But he managed to get on the scoresheet in the 30th minute - 15 minutes ahead of Jobe.

Marcus Rashford has confirmed he is keen on joining Barcelona with the forward believed to have no future at Manchester United.
talkSPORT reported last month how the winger is holding out for a dream move to Barca with his advisers holding talks with the club's sporting director Deco.
And speaking to Spanish YouTube channel XBuyer, the 27-year-old insisted it's a move he would welcome.
Asked whether he wants to play alongside teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, Rashford said: "Yeah, sure.
Obviously, you can't go back down [with] them points deductions and all that sort of stuff.
"So it still has to be monitored going forward I think, their spending.
"I don't know the truth of the amounts, but it will have to be balanced out still against financial fair play to make sure the club's in better health as it goes forward."

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella, speaking to DAZN: "For the majority, we controlled the game well.

Your team needs you and you let them down.
"He did it in an important Premier League game at Newcastle when they were fighting for the Champions League places, and he has done it again."
Mikel added: "Nicolas Jackson needs to have a look at himself and think where he wants his Chelsea career to go from here.
"The manager has brought in a striker in Liam Delap, and now if the manager starts to doubt you, if he keeps making mistakes and letting his team-mates and the club down, then it is time for Delap to start the games.
