The Black Stars player scored in the 37th and 86th minute respectively in the game that had Ghanaian-Italian Kelvin Yeboah also score a brace; Yeboah is the nephew of football legend Tony Yeboah.
“Things have changed because of the way we press. As you can see today, when everybody loses the ball, he wants to press because we were eager and really hungry to win this game even though we had a long break but it really didn’t affect us, we were really focused…and it was really amazing that we came out with this great scoreline.”
