Leeds United loanee made his bow for Cultural Leonesa.
Leeds United loanee Yosuke Ideguchi made his debut for Cultural Leonesa on Sunday evening.
The Japan international midfielder signed for Leeds earlier this month from Gamba Osaka and has been loaned out to the Spanish second division side.
This was a controversial decision among Leeds fans after he qualified for a work permit, which the club was not initially expecting.
Last night he made his debut as a late substitute as Cultural Leonesa lost 2-1 to Osasuna.
Midfielder Fran Merida, linked with Leeds by The Mail in September, scored one of Osasuna’s goals.
Ideguchi came on for the final nine minutes with the score at 2-1 but could not rescue a point for his side, who are 18th of 22 teams in the Segunda Liga.
The most notable contribution made by Ideguchi was when he picked up a yellow card.
There was not much time for him to impress but it was important he is getting onto the pitch so early on. Next step will be to impress in training and earn a starting spot.
Here is a look at the reaction to his short debut…
