Owusu-Oduro stepped in on his own request, replacing Jari De Busser in the squad. The 22-year-old goalkeeper acknowledged the difficulty of the situation, saying, "Natuurlijk is het moeilijk" (It's only natural that it's difficult) after the 1-1 draw at De Herdgang, as captured by ESPN. He expressed his desire to prove himself on the field, stating, "Als ik op het veld sta, wil ik laten zien dat ik er ben in plaats van mijn kop te laten hangen" (When I'm on the field, I want to show that I'm there instead of hanging my head). Owusu-Oduro has played 55 Eredivisie matches and believes that as a top player, he needs to adapt to the situation. He accepted the decision of coach Leeroy Echteld to play De Busser, saying, "Ik moet het accepteren" (I must accept it).
