Paul, the son of former Julius Berger midfielder, Essien Mbong, was on target as Malta U16s thrashed Gibraltar 4-0 in their final game at the UEFA Youth U-16 Development Tournament

The Birkirkara F.C. striker opened scoring after 27 minutes with a fine shot just outside the penalty area.

Russel Vella, Shaun Dimech and Satariano also got their names on the scoresheet for the Island Nation.

Paul Mbong’s elder brother, Joseph, represents the Maltese national team at U21 level and was the first player to score for Malta in a UEFA sanctioned tournament back in 2014.

The younger Mbong was born in 2001.
