En-Nesyri scores on Europa League debut against CFR Cluj

Youssef En-Nesyri found the net on his Europa League debut in Thursday’s 1-1 draw with CFR Cluj.

The Moroccan replaced Jesus Navas in the 73rd minute, and it took him just nine minutes to make an impact for the Spaniards.

After a goalless first-half, the Romanians took the lead courtesy of Ciprian Deac’s 59th minute penalty after VAR replays showed Jules Kounde had handled the ball.

The 33-year-old made no mistake from 12 yards to send fans inside Constantin Radulescu Stadium wild.

However, super-sub Nesyri ensured that the game ended all squared with the leveller courtesy of Luuk de Jong’s assist.
