Ghanaian prodigy Caleb Yirenkyi breaks duck in FC Nordsjaelland’s thrilling 3-1 victory

Ghanaian teenage sensation Caleb Yirenkyi netted his maiden league goal for FC Nordsjaelland on Friday, March 7, 2025, as the Danish outfit edged Vejle 3-1 in an electrifying home league clash.

The 19-year-old rising star, who made his debut September 20, 2024 against Viborg FF in the Denmark Super League, opened his goal-scoring account in the 82nd minute, sealing all three points for his side.

Yirenkyi’s strike was a textbook finish, as he pounced on a rebound from close range after the visiting goalkeeper parried a shot back into play.

The former Right to Dream Academy graduate’s goal capped off an impressive team performance, with Erik Nygren and Sindre scoring in the 3rd and 53rd minutes, respectively.

Making his seventh appearance in the 3F Superliga, Yirenkyi played the full 90 minutes, demonstrating his growing influence on the team.

Caleb Yirenkyi’s scintillating performance was capped off with the ultimate individual accolade – the Man of the Match award – a fitting testament to his standout display on a day that will forever be remembered as a milestone in his burgeoning career.

With his first league goal under his belt since he got promoted to the first team on February 2, 2025, the Ghanaian international will be eager to build on this momentum, earn more playing time, and unlock his full potential for the Danish outfit.

Yirenkyi’s move to FC Nordsjaelland in March 2024 from Right to Dream Academy has been a strategic one, as he aims to follow in the footsteps of illustrious Ghanaian alumni, including Mohammed Kudus, Abdul Mumin, Gideon Mensah, Ibrahim Osman, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and Ernest Nuamah, who have all made their mark at the Danish club before transitioning to elite European teams.
