The son of a legend made his World Cup debut. He was introduced by… his own father.

Like father, like son. Robin van Persie had the opportunity to introduce Shaqueel van Persie to the pitch.

Feyenoord lost 3-1 to Celtic in the Europa League on Thursday, with Hyun-Jun Yang, Reo Hatate and Benjamin Nygren responding to Ayase Ueda’s goal.

More than the score, however, is being talked about the closing moments of the match. In the 80th minute, a rare opportunity occurred. A second Van Persie joined one Van Persie on the touchline.

Feyenoord coach Robin van Persie has decided to let Feyenoord player Shaqueel van Persie in. The similarity in surnames is no coincidence, as they are father and son.

The 19-year-old Dutchman made his senior debut. He’s also a striker. He didn’t score a goal or register an assist. However, father and son still have reason to be proud.

The sons of football stars sometimes try to follow in their fathers’ footsteps. In recent years, however, their success has varied. Two cases in particular have received significant attention.

Ronaldinho’s son, Joao Mendes, has joined the academy of Championship side Hull City. Adriano’s son, Adriano, has joined Academica de Coimbra in the Portuguese third tier.

Christian Hamsik recently signed a contract with Copenhagen. Seb Huntelaar and Liam van Nistelrooy joined PSV. Romarinho signed a contract with UCSA.
