Youssef En-Nesyri found the net on his Europa League debut for Sevilla 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 En-Nesyri ensured that the game ended all square with the leveller courtesy of Luuk de Jong’s assist.
