\"Internationals:Published 4 hours ago <\/p>\n

By Chris Shaw<\/p>\n

Rio Ngumoha and Keyrol Figueroa made their senior international debuts on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Ngumoha became England\u2019s 1,300th capped player as he was introduced for the second half of a 1-0 friendly win against New Zealand.<\/p>\n

At the age of 17 years and 281 days, Ngumoha was the fifth-youngest player in history to appear for the Three Lions.<\/p>\n

And the Liverpool forward\u2019s display earned him the Player of the Match award, too.<\/p>\n

Figueroa was also sent on from the bench after half-time for Honduras as they lost 2-0 to Argentina, for whom Alexis Mac Allister took to the pitch on 63 minutes.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Alisson Becker completed the opening 45 minutes of Brazil\u2019s 2-1 victory against Egypt in a World Cup warm-up.<\/p>\n

There was a Liverpool FC reunion for Alisson and teammate Fabinho<\/a> with Mohamed Salah<\/a> in opposition.<\/p>\n

Florian Wirtz was involved for 80 minutes for Germany as they saw off the USA 2-1, and Lewis Koumas featured for the final half-hour of Wales\u2019 2-1 defeat versus Romania.<\/p>\n
