- Ernest Nuamah has made his Ligue 1 debut for Olympique Lyonnais
- The teenager was in fine form despite defeat to PSG
- Nuamah has been named in Ghana's squad for the game against CAR
Ghanaian youngster Ernest Nuamah produced an impressive debut display for Olympique Lyonnais despite defeat to French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
The 19-year-old was handed a starting role just days after completing his move to the Ligue 1 outfit from Danish side FC Nordsjaelland.
Nuamah lasted 76 minutes but managed to convince the Lyon fans with his exciting performance against the star-studded PSG.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Nuamah left PSG defender Lucas Hernandez lost after skillfully outwitting his marker.
The 2023 Golden Boy nominee is expected to play a pivotal role in Lyon's campaign this season.
In an exciting game at the Groupama stadium, Kylian Mbappe broke the deadlock in the fourth minute from the spot before Achraf Hakimi doubled the lead 16 minutes later.
Former Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio extended the advantage moments later before Mbappe completed his brace at the stroke of half-time.
After the break, Corentin Tolisso pulled one back for the hosts, but PSG were too hot to handle for Olympique Lyon.
Nuamah will head to Ghana on Monday for the final 2023 AFCON qualifier against the Central African Republic on September 7, 2023, as reported by GHANASoccernet.
