It didn't take him long to miss a sitter...

As we told you last week, the world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, is training with Norwegian outfit Strømsgodset with a view to becoming an actual professional footballer.

He originally impressed in his first training session with the club, scoring and nutmegging his teammate.

You can see in the footage below that he didn't look out of place alongside his teammates.

Bolt, who has previously trained with Borussia Dortmund, has now taken another step towards realising his dream by playing in his first competitive match against Norway's U19 side.

Within minutes of coming on as a substitute, the Jamaican missed a sitter for the Eliteserien side, but overall his performance was strong.

He held up the ball well, finding space during his impressive 20 minute spell on the pitch.

Check out Bolt's highlights from the game against Norway U19's below:

Usain Bolt's lifelong dream of becoming a professional footballer finally came true back in March.

The world's fastest man not only trained with Bundesliga side Dortmund, but he managed to score in the session, and even nutmegged a teammate.

If you missed Bolt's goal, a sublime pass from Mario Gotze was dinked through to the 31-year-old and he caught the keeper off-guard with a clever little glancing nod.

165,000 people tuned into the live stream, and they all thought he would fail, hopelessly.

Everybody imagined that he would get his legs all tangled up over the ball and fall over like an uncoordinated and confused robot in the middle of an ice rink.

But, no. Bolt scored a neat little header in the session, and we're a little stunned.

"It's all about procedure and movement, but the most important thing is that he had fun." Dortmund boss Stoger said.

"I think he is talented, but when he wants to play at a higher level, he clearly has a lot of work to do. The physique he needs for his other sport is completely different from what he needs for football, but it was really fun for us.

"It was a pleasure for us to meet a guy like him and to work with him."

Has he got the tools to become a professional footballer?
