THE wait may have been long and perhaps a bit frustrating for Zimbabwe Warriors striker Tino Kadewere to make his debut for his Spanish club Real Mallorca, but when the moment eventually presented itself at the weekend he sure did make it special.
Kadewere, who had to endure a long wait before getting a start at Real Mallorca netted on his debut on Saturday.
He found the target in the 88th minute of Mallorca’s clash with CD Autol in a Copa Del Rey cup tie his side went on to win 6-0 at Estadio La Planilla.
The match was Kadewere’s first appearance almost three months after making the switch to the Spanish top-flight side from French club Lyon on a season-long loan deal. Kadewere could have made his debut earlier but a muscle injury kept him out for several weeks.
He returned to action earlier in the month but was an unused substitute in Mallorca’s two previous games in La Liga.
Olympic Lyon signed the player from Le Havre for €12m where he finished as Ligue 2’s top scorer in 2020.
In his debut season for Lyon, Kadewere scored 10 goals but was not in the same form last season, starting less than five games and scoring only once in fifteen matches across all competitions, resulting in his loan move to Spain. – @innocentskizoe
