Mitchell Egimang Score Stanning Gol in debut in 41 seconds: ‘The world is in her feet’
As England hit Belgium 3–1 in the 80th minute of Tuesday’s UEFA Women’s Nation League match, Captain Lia Williamson played the right-to-sub-diagonal ball for the first time in the box. Forward Mitchell Egimang, who had entered the match only 41 seconds ago, saw the ball, took a touch to control it with his right thigh, rotated his hips and killed a volley behind the net.

“As soon as I touched it, I thought: ‘Bus Mara’,” Agimang told ITV Sport. He called it the biggest moment of his young career.
Arsenal Academy Graduate, who joined the club at the age of six and started his first team in November 2022 at the age of 16, even praised Belgian manager Elisbet Gunarsdotir, who told him this year after the game.
“It was amazing,” said Gunarsdottiir. “You are standing there and just enjoy it. This is the one that is football.”
As England prepared for the restart, below 3–2, midfielder Keira Walsh gave serious instructions to Agyamang. Defender Lucy Bronze threw the teenager’s chest with both his hands.

The senior international international of England was not telling the agamung, but his actions were only a mark of respect. He had just made his honor for a fully ridiculous goal. Lakshya gave England life for a brief time, but was not sufficient to ultimately help his country, the final score was 3–2 in favor of Belgium.
It was a moment of quality that England was in dire need after a disappointing first-half performance, scoring three goals in 29 minutes. Sarina Wigman’s side was slow with mark. They were also scattered in possession. When they lose the ball, England was very open in the midfield, which made them unsafe for attacks.
Forward Nikita Paris, started her first England two and a half years later Injured Alesia Russo in place After England’s 5–0 win against Belgium on Friday, after a minor knee injury, which retreated from the camp. However, Paris struggled to create an impact and lacked qualities in his hold-up play. She came on an hour mark with midfielder Grace Clinton.
Russo, who has avoided serious injuries and is ready to return to play for arsenal this month, an out-and-out center is ahead, a grunt that uses his strength to take care of the ball, and stitch play but is also becoming a more selfish penalty-box striker. His absence missed on Tuesday when England was in dire need of a round-scoring danger.

Up stepped into the fire. Coming to Jess Park in the 80th minute, it was a shining light in an otherwise sluggish England performance. The Center carried forward Belgian defense questions, worked well in technical and physically physically tight places.
In this season, brighton was called to the Wiegman’s squad on Sunday after Russo’s return to a lifetime on debt, which was initially nominated in the Under -19 team. On Saturday, he won his 5–1 victory over Austria, which ranked England in this year’s Under -19 European Championship.
Perhaps Agyemang will instead will look at one place in senior euros in Switzerland. He had only one training session with the lioness before Tuesday’s game, but immediately impressed Viagman and his teammates.
“He is very, very strong, very technically sound,” the Center said back to Esme Morgan, which was just behind Egimang because he hit the volley. “You play the ball inside him and he holds it well and he is very good in closing it to play others. His finishing is very good, the ball is very dynamic while attacking the cross, he is very dynamic and he is really a smart player. He has great physical features that are able to complement it.”

The head of women’s football in Helen Ward, Watford, where Agamang spent 2023-24 season loans, echos Morgan’s words.
“He is a great child, who is dedicated to his craft, super talented but humble,” Ward said. “Her legs have the world, all the characteristics, one top, the top players are both in their physical characteristics, but their technical ability is also very good, very good. She really has all this. She only needs to gain such experience and can achieve what she wants in the super league (WSL) and she can achieve what she wants.”
Wiegman praised Agyemang’s composition and peace and said that his achievement should be celebrated, a rare comment for a manager that is often reluctant to talk about individuals.
The absence of Russo has highlighted the deficiency of England, a natural back-up striker which is growing in euros. Lauren Ganja, at this time injured, played further in the center, but does not have an out-end-out number 9 and brings different properties.

Asked if the fire can fill that place, Wiegman said: “I can’t say to you right now” that he is “a complete talent”. “Of course, we will keep an eye on him. It is too early to say where it goes now.”
They say that to take your opportunities, Agyamang took her with two touch.
