Kickoff (Cape Town)
4 November 2008
Ghana youth international Daniel Opare is over the moon after making his debut for Spanish giants Real Madrid.
The defender joined the European giants after excelling at the Under-17 World Cup in South Korea last year.
The 18-year-old's debut for the club was delayed because of an ankle injury in the pre-season.
He was in Real Madrid's second team on Sunday as they defeated Villa Santa Brgida in the country's youth league.
Opare came on as a substitute in the 29th minutes to replace injured Velayos and excelled during the game.
"This was my first match and I am very happy. On the grass I've been phenomenal, everything has been great," Opare said.
"At Real Madrid everything is great, especially my colleagues, who are combining very well with me," he added.
"This place is fantastic and I think that if I play many minutes it can greatly help my team.
"The game was a bit difficult to win today. Fortunately we have achieved the three points that we wanted, and we are all happy."
