Barcelona striker Marc Guiu scored on his first appearance for Spain’s Under-17s at the World Cup on Friday.

Spain opened up their campaign against Canada in a game which saw Guiu break the deadlock after just 20 minutes.

The attacker was picked out inside the penalty area by Pablo Lopez and directed his header down and past the goalkeeper to make it 1-0.

Canada then suffered a further blow seven minutes before half-time when they were reduced to 10 men when Alessandro Biello was sent off.
