Cristiano Jr was handed the No7 shirt made famous by his dad for the under-15 showdown against Croatia.
And the teenager needed just 12 minutes to open the scoring against the hosts.
Ghosting into the box from the left wing, Cristiano Jr was played in after a teammate’s mazy run.
From a tight angle, he smashed in a sublime first-time shot off the crossbar.
Cristiano Jr sprinted off towards the corner flag to celebrate his first international goal.
And he couldn’t resist mimicking his dad’s iconic ‘Siu’ celebration alongside his teammates.
One fan wrote in response: “Like father like son. SIU tradition lives.”
Another said: “The moment he gets a taste of scoring, he won’t stop.”

While a third joked: “I’m seeing double here, two Ronaldos!”
Cristiano Jr has been eyed by scouts from a host of European clubs, including Manchester United and Tottenham.
And he was on the scoresheet again as Croatia threatened a comeback.
With the scores locked at 1-1, Portugal went ahead again as the 14-year-old planted a header in at the far post.
They would eventually run out 3-2 winners.
Earlier in the tournament, five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo took to social media to congratulate his son on his international debut.
A proud CR7 told his 115 million followers: “Congratulations on your debut by @selecaoportugal, son. Very proud of you!”
