The 18-year-old, who was included in Australia's provisional 31-man 2010 World Cup squad, came off the bench on 89 minutes for his debut appearance following his move from Brisbane Roar.

The Dutch club scored three first-half goals as they easily brushed aside their Albanian opponents in their second qualifying round first-leg in Utrecht.

Fellow Aussies, Adam Sarota and Michael Zullo, did not play for Utrecht.

Elsewhere in the Europa League second qualifying round, goalkeeper Ante Covic wasn't even in the IF Elfsborg squad which defeated Iskra Stal 2-1.

Covic appears to have fallen behind Joakim Wulff and new Danish signing Jesper Christiansen at Elfsborg.

Elsewhere, teenage Aussie striker Brent McGrath wasn't in the Brondby squad as they accounted for FC Vaduz 3-0.
