Scoring on NI debut unbelievable - Cassap

Emily Cassap scored on her Northern Ireland debut just 66 seconds after being substituted into the match, describing the goal as "probably the best goal I have ever scored". The midfielder joined the Northern Ireland squad for the first time for their UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifier against Belgium on April 5, 2024. Cassap, who plays for Sunderland, was brought on as a substitute in the 74th minute and found the back of the net in the 75th minute. This marked a significant moment in her career, as it was her first senior international appearance. The match concluded with a 1-1 draw, with Amber Bartholomew scoring Belgium's equalizer in the 87th minute. Northern Ireland's next fixture is against the Republic of Ireland on April 9, 2024.
