19-year-old Ghanaian forward Ernest Nuamah marked his long-awaited debut for Danish side FC Nordsjælland with a goal against Aarhus.

Nuamah was introduced to the game in the second half and made an instant impression with a goal as the Tigers were held to a 2-2 draw with Aarhus.

It was Albert Gronbaek who broke the game's deadlock for the away side after 39 minutes to give Aarhus the advantage at halftime.

Determined to pull parity, coach Flemming Pedersen made two changes in the opening 20 minutes of the second half including the introduction of Ernest Nuamah.

And his tactical masterstroke yielded dividends in the dying embers of the game as Nordsjælland scored twice in the space of two minutes with Nuamah among the goal scorers.

Despite the late comeback, Nordsjælland failed to hold onto their lead as Aarhus equalized in additional time to deny Nuamah a fairytale start to life in Denmark.

The Kumasi-born attacker joined the Danish top-flight outfit from feeder club Right to Dream Academy in February this year.

How did Nuamah perform on his debut for Nordsjælland?

The left-footed Ghanaian forward was handed his first taste of Danish football seven minutes after the half-hour mark.

In the almost 30 minutes of cameo appearance for the Tigers, the youngster was hand to score his side's second goal only for the game to end 2-2.

He was lively and was not out of sort for a teenager making his competitive appearance.

He was also voted as the man-of-the-match after his awesome display on his debut.
