Ibrahim Osman, a winger from Ghana, made his Brighton & Hove Albion debut in a preseason match against Kashima Antlers in Japan.
The club, which is playing two games in Japan as part of its preseason tour, traveled to Tokyo alongside the 19-year-old forward.
Osman was included in the starting lineup for the Premier League team’s 5-1 victory over Kashima Antlers on Wednesday morning.
The 15th minute saw Gambian forward Yankuba Minteh, a fellow summer addition, open the score, giving the Seagulls a goal edge heading into halftime.
After the interval, every player was replaced, and in the second half, goals from Yasin Ayari and Jeremy Sarmiento came in fast succession. Amario Cozier-Duberry made it 5-0 with a brace before Homare Tokuda gave the hosts a late consolation goal.
As they get ready for the new season, Brighton will next take on Tokyo Verde.
