Ivorian U21 international Kader Keïta made his first appearance for Rapid Bucharest in their 1-0 victory over FC Botosani.
The young forward, who joined the club on loan from CFR Cluj during the winter transfer window, was introduced seven minutes from time as his side secured three crucial points.
The win moves Rapid Bucharest closer to the top of the league table, narrowing the gap to the leaders to just seven points.
Keïta’s introduction adds to the club’s recent momentum, with the team maintaining an impressive unbeaten run in their domestic campaign.
At just 21 years old, Keïta is regarded as one of Ivory Coast’s promising football talents.
He showcased his potential during the 2021 Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations, where he contributed a goal and an assist.
His arrival at Rapid Bucharest is seen as an opportunity for further development, with the club holding an option to make his move permanent at the end of the season.
With his debut now behind him, Keïta will be aiming to secure more minutes and make a lasting impression as the season progresses.
