Dutch-born Ghanaian goalkeeper Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro made his AZ Alkmaar first-team debut on Thursday as he came off the bench to play a part in their 3-1 friendly victory over Valencia.
The 18-year-old Owusu-Oduro extended his professional contract with Alkmaar a few months ago, and he will now play in more games for the first squad.
The young goalkeeper managed to distinguish himself in the game by saving a penalty kick.
The game's opening opportunity fell to the Spaniards, but Beukema was able to stop the threat in its tracks. Karlsson's goal gave AZ the lead shortly after that. Odgaard assisted the Swede, who was then able to tap in from close range.
Soon after Odgaard and Pavlidis had opportunities, Valencia scored before halftime. Verhulst appeared to make a good stop, but the linesman flagged the ball as having passed the goal line.
The visitors quickly repaired the damage in the second half, regaining the lead within a minute. De Wit located Mamardashvili while he was still on the move, and Karlsson scored. Owuso-Oduro stopped another penalty kick in the last minutes.
