The Owls youngsters were both involved in Northern Ireland under-18s’ narrow 3-2 defeat to European champions Italy in Tuscany on Thursday afternoon. The match was a friendly.
In searing heat the Green and White Army did themselves plenty of justice, edging the majority of ball possession against a side littered with talent from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Charles played the entirety of the match in goal and, making his debut, striker Moses came off the bench for the second half, scoring his side’s second and bringing the score to 3-2 after 67 minutes.
Juan Delgado
With nearly eight years have come between his fifth and sixth caps for Chile, Owls new boy Delgado continued his renaissance with his national side by making his 13th appearance as a substitute in a 3-1 defeat to dominant Uruguay.

The clash was in the first round of CONMEBOL qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. Their second will come against Devis Vasquez’s Colombia in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Uncapped Wednesday goalkeeper Vasquez watched on from the bench as Atlas MX stopper Camilo Vargas kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win for Colombia against Venezuela - played at the same time as Chile’s defeat.
Also played as part of the first round of CONMEBOL qualifying, Vasquez’s side will hope to continue their 100% record against Delgado and Chile on Wednesday.

It leaves them with just three points from their five qualifying matches so far, six points behind the second-placed Dutch who have a game in hand.
