Jack Dunn was amongst the goals as Liverpool U18s beat St Vincent U20s 3-1 in the Caribbean to retain the Harlequin Cup.
Mike Marsh's charges are on an end of season trip to one of the most beautiful places in the world, and as part of the tour, they played a match with the St Vincent U20 national side.
Spanish star Nacho and Henoc Mukendi were also on the mark for Marsh's side.
Members of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation, government ministers and Buccament Bay Resort guests were in attendance with a partisan local crowd giving strong support throughout.
A frenetic first half in the burning Caribbean sun was followed by a slower but no less eventful second with welcome cool showers doing nothing to dampen a heated contest as the teams battled it out.
SVG held their own against the next generation of one of the world's best league teams, whilst the Liverpool U18s showed their quality by winning the Harlequin Cup in difficult conditions that saw members of the squad and staff beneath umbrellas in the sunny first half, before discarding them in the second when the rain began to fall.
In a great gesture to their hosts, the Academy players kindly gave their kits to the SVG team after the game.
