As icing on the cake, the Breda-trained midfielder was also allowed to make minutes at the tournament. He came on in the 67th minute. In the end, the Orange squad was able to convincingly win 1-3 against Bulgaria. Banzuzi has quickly become a permanent fixture at the Orange U-17, making him one of the few players active in the team from a club outside the traditional top four.
Despite the unfortunate end of the NAC season, Banzuzi was able to record a personal highlight. His goal put him in the top five of youngest goalscorers ever in the NAC shirt. Now he can give further color to the season (for him personally) at the youth European Championship. Starting next Thursday, when Banzuzi will play against Poland with his peers.
