Ghanaian forward Ibrahim Sadiq came off the bench to inspire AZ Alkmaar to victory in their Dutch Eredivisie game on Saturday evening.
Sadiq scored one and set up another as AZ came from two goals down to win 3-2 at home against Waalwijk.
The away side got off to a flying start as David Min scored inside three minutes to give them the lead.
Min also scored with three minutes away from the halftime whistle to double his side's lead and put them beyond the reach of AZ.
However, a triple substitution in the 61st minute by the home side turned things around.
Sadiq, who was one of the introduced players, created the chance for Yukinari Sugawara to score and reduce the deficit four minutes after coming on.

The Ghanaian then went on to score the equaliser in the 75th minute giving his side the opportunity to go all out for the winner.
AZ's top scorer Vangelis Pavlidis netted two minutes after Sadiq's equaliser to put AZ into the lead for the first time in the fixture.
They held on for the remaining minutes to secure all three points at the end of 90 minutes.
Sadiq's goal was his first for the club in the Dutch League and second since arriving from BK Hacken in the summer.
He was also named the Man of the Match after his cameo.
