Ghanaian winger, Ibrahim Sadiq, has shared his excitement after climbing off the bench to inspire AZ Alkmaar to a comeback win against RKC Waalwijk.
The former Ghana U17 star scored and provided an assist as AZ came from two goals down to beat Waalwijk 3-2 in the Dutch Eredivisie.
Osman was named Man of the Match after an impressive display on Saturday.
"I Feel so happy to help the team to win and also get my chance to shine," he told reporters after the game.
"I was out on the bench and I told myself when if I go in I have to show what I can do and also help the team to win. I saw spaces behind them and in the middle, so I was like if I go in I will take those spaces and score or give an assist," he added.
