Matthias Fanimo and Blair Turgott had to settle for runners-up medals after England lost out on penalties in the final of the Montaigu Tournament in France.
The U16 event has been played out over the last week with the West Ham United pair more than playing their part in the Young Lions reaching Monday's final against Portugal. In the showpiece, the Iberian nation took the lead on 13 minutes but Robbie Cotton equalised just before the half-hour mark.
Turgott played for 72 minutes while, Fanimo was a 49th-minute substitute. Neither could add to the scoring though and the match - and the tournament - was destined to be decided in a shoot-out. England, who had not tasted defeat in their previous seven matches, lost out 3-1 from the spot but can still hold their heads high. The Young Lions had already won the Victory Shield event for home nations.
