Isaiah Ahmed joined Heerenveen's youth academy in the summer of 2021 and experienced a special moment against NAC Breda. The 18-year-old midfielder made his debut in the first team.

What happened?

Isaiah Ahmed was sent back by the coaches after his warm-up. So he already had the idea that he could come in.

How did he feel?

What went through his mind during his substitution? Really everything, says Isaiah. That waiting, that adrenaline, that feeling, the atmosphere... The whole moment was just really beautiful.

What did he say about his debut?

You also get a lot of congratulations from everyone, said Isaiah. At school, at the club, everywhere. Then you realize what you've experienced.

Just after his substitution, Ion Nicolaescu scored the 4-0 in the Abe Lenstra Stadium. That a goal is still scored while you're on the field, that's really very nice, according to Isaiah.
