Ruben Van Bommel provides key assist in his Netherlands debut

Ruben Van Bommel, son of the legendary former footballer Mark Van Bommel, produced an assist in the 91st minute of the match, with just two minutes of added time left, to rescue a point for the Netherlands national team. The pass, executed with the outside of his right boot, triggered the goal that sealed the draw.

An assist that brushed the Puskas Award

The play consisted of a pass with the outside of the right boot that described a perfect half‑circle, delivering the ball to Cody Gakpo, who arrived from behind and, after raising his arm, struck at pleasure. If assists counted for the Puskas Award, this creation would have all the credentials to compete.

Everyone took yesterday's victory of Jurgen Klopp's German side for granted, but Ruben's intervention changed the dynamics and forced the Dutch to settle for a draw. The result left one point for the Netherlands and kept the uncertainty in the qualification.

Ruben van Bommel's Louvre‑worthy assist dazzles the Dutch side

The 22‑year‑old forward, currently in the ranks of PSV Eindhoven, debuted yesterday with the "orange" and already showed his father's blood, Mark Van Bommel. His presence on the field underlined the continuity of the family tradition in international football.

The image of the moment was captured by KOEN VAN WEEL for EFE in Barcelona. Roberto Carlos commented: "I had a very serious family problem, on Thursday I went to sleep and on Friday I received a pile of papers whose existence I was unaware of, I lost 99% of everything I had earned".
