England kicked off their U17 World Cup campaign with victory over Rwanda.
Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling, 16, went close early on when his 20-yard strike came back off a post.
But Everton striker Hallam Hope made no mistake on 68 minutes, collecting a long ball before chipping keeper Marcel Nzarora.
It was Sterling, though, who had the final say when he curled in a stunning effort from the left flank with four minutes left.
John Peacock's side now top Group C with games against Canada and Uruguay still to come.
