While still in school, the 16-year-old beat Folarin Balogun's record for the most goals scored by an Arsenal player in the U18 Premier League in a single season.
In the second minute of stoppage time, Obi-Martin broke the tie when, following a through pass from Noah Markmann, he wrapped around the Wales goalkeeper and tapped into the net.

Since making his U17 debut against Norway in August 2023, Obi-Martin has now netted eleven goals in fifteen games for Denmark's national team.
