In a dazzling debut that lasted just six minutes, Jarell Quansah made headlines by scoring for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga while honoring his late friend and former teammate, Diogo Jota.

Quansah, the 22-year-old ex-Liverpool defender, made a high-profile exit from Anfield for a £35 million transfer to Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer. After a successful first outing in the DFK-Pokal, he truly shone during the opening weekend of the German league season.

With barely five minutes on the clock, Quansah capitalized on a brilliantly taken free kick by teammate Alex Grimaldo, deftly guiding the ball past Hoffenheim's goalkeeper Oliver Baumann and sending the Leverkusen fans into a frenzy.
