England U16s were held to a 1-1 draw by Korea Republic in their second match of this year's Montaigu Tournament in western France.
After losing their opening game to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, Kenny Swain's team were looking to get back on track against the South Koreans.
And after a goal-less first half, a goal from West Ham United striker Jahmal Hector-Ingram soon after the re-start put the Young Lions ahead.
But England couldn't hold on for long and the Koreans drew level ten minutes later.
The final group game for England takes place on Saturday when they face Portugal. There will be another match after that, with all teams taking on nations from the other group who finished in the same respective position in their table.
