Isaac Success wasted no time in making his mark for Al-Wasl, delivering a game-winning goal to kickoff his first day in office with a pass mark.
The Nigerian striker’s goal came late in the AFC Champions League encounter against Al-Gharafa at the Al Bayt Stadium, sealing a crucial away win, Footballrover reports.
His debut could not have been scripted any better, and it promises to be a thrilling chapter in his career.
After being released by Udinese in August, Isaac Success joined Al-Wasl in October as a free agent.
His debut on Tuesday proved he was the missing piece for Milos Milojevic’s side, coming on as a substitute and securing all three points with a clinical 92nd-minute strike.
The match had been finely poised after Fabio Lima’s late equaliser, following an earlier goal from Al-Gharafa’s Ferjani Sassi.
But it was Isaac Success who stole the show, snatching victory in dramatic fashion.
Al-Wasl now sits fifth in the standings, with two wins from three matches, thanks in large part to Success’ impact.

The 28-year-old managed 11 touches and completed two of his three passes, with one of them setting up the match-winner.
His 67% pass accuracy, combined with three successful ground duels, displayed his tactical awareness and physical presence.
