The internet had exploded overnight with footage, analysis, and commentary about his performance at De Kuip. His phone had been buzzing non-stop with messages from friends, family, and football contacts around the world.
Each notification brought a new wave of disbelief. Former teammates from the Utrecht academy were sending screenshots of international news articles featuring his name. Coaches from his youth days in Kenya were calling to congratulate him, their voices filled with pride and amazement. Even players he barely knew were reaching out, wanting to be associated with what everyone was calling a historic performance.
