Mackenzie Heaney played the full game as England took on Germany on Sunday afternoon in their second game of the Algarve Tournament.
But despite surging into a two-goal lead, the Young Lions had to settle for a draw in Lagos.
A first-half brace from Sheffield Wednesday striker George Hirst had put Steve Cooper's side in a commanding position and Ipswich Town keeper Nick Hayes kept England's lead intact with a penalty save in the second half.
But a late fightback from the Germans, and goals from Florian Baak and Renat Dadashov, ensured that the game ended all square - just like England's first match of the competition, Friday's 1-1 draw against Portugal.
England will play their final game of the tournament, against the Netherlands, on Tuesday afternoon.
