Ghana youngster Ali Fadal has made his senior debut for Spanish side Valencia on Tuesday, December 5, 2023, in their Copa del Rey game against lower tier side Arosa SC.
The 19-year-old midfielder came off the bench after 71 minutes to replace fellow debutant Marco Camus as Ruben Baraja’s team emerged 1-0 winners to in the Spanish Cup round two game.
Fadal impressed with the 19 minutes he got on the pitch, with fans yearning to see more of the Valencia Mestalla product in senior games.
Ukrainian Roman Yarechuk scored the only goal of the game in the eight minute to see the La Liga club progress to the next round of the Cope del Rey.
While it is true that this was Ali Fadal's first time playing in an official match with Valencia, he had previously played in friendlies.
In December 2022, during the break for the Qatar World Cup, he played against Leeds U21 and Clermont.
Later, in the summer, he was on the bench in the preseason victory against Nottingham Forest.
