Watch Garang Kuol score first ever international goal in Australia's 3-1 win over Ecuador - Video

Garang Kuol may be frustrated by his lack of game time in Scotland, but the Socceroos sensation has enjoyed a moment to savour today, scoring his first international goal for his country.

After being selected for his country for the international break, the 18-year-old tapped home in the 83rd minute to seal a 3-1 win over Ecuador this morning.

A huge moment for the former Central Coast Mariners star, who is currently on loan with Hearts after sealing a permanent switch to Newcastle United in earlier this year.

Kuol has struggled for minutes since arriving at Tynecastle - he's started just one league game so far, with seven of his eight appearances coming from the bench - but this will do his confidence the world of good. Watch the goal below:

On his lack of minutes in Scotland, it's important to remember he wasn't actually starting regularly in the A-League, so our concern over his limited game time should be managed; especially when he's an 18-year-old lad who will still be settling in after moving from the other side of the world.

Either way, this is a landmark goal in the young mans career and memory he'll savour for the rest of his life. Congrats, Garang!
