The moment every young player dreams of came true for Ivanovic. He made his Benfica debut a night to remember, scoring the goal that put his team ahead against Nice. This 21-year-old forward has only just arrived at the Estádio da Luz, joining from Saint-Gilloise.
The goal arrived in the 53rd minute. Fredrik Aursnes carved out space on the right side of the attack. He then delivered a perfect cross right into the penalty area. Ivanovic, showing a true striker’s instinct, met the ball with a clever touch, guiding it into the back of the net. It was a beautiful movement, proving he knows where the goal is. His first game in the famous red shirt could not have gone better.
This immediate impact signals great things. Fans of “the Reds” are already buzzing. A debut goal always feels special. For Ivanovic, it was a clear statement of intent.
