DAVID BECKHAM rushed on to hug and hail son Romeo at the end after the teenager teed up a goal for Inter Miami reserves.
Brooklyn, 23, and Cruz Beckham, 17, also watched as 19-year-old brother Romeo starred in a 2-1 win over Rochester New York FC.
The former Los Angeles Galaxy, PSG and Arsenal kid is looking to break into Miami’s senior squad by next year.
But first-team boss Phil Neville, the former England and Manchester United team-mate of Becks senior, was criticised for bringing on Romeo and his own son Harvey in a 6-0 friendly loss to Barcelona in July.
Under-pressure Nev hit back by insisting both had earned their chance.
And Romeo showed his growing maturity with an assist against Rochester.
