Semenyo, Kwabena Owusu and Bernard Somuah score over the weekend
Ghanaian footballers were once again in the spotlight across various European leagues over the weekend, finding the net and delivering strong performances even as results differed for their respective clubs.
In England, Antoine Semenyo continued his fine form for AFC Bournemouth, scoring his eighth goal of the campaign in a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Burnley on Saturday. The forward’s consistency in front of goal has been a bright spot for the Cherries as they push through a demanding stretch of the season.
Action in Israel also saw Ghanaian names on the scoresheet. Kwabena Owusu found the back of the net for Maccabi Bnei Raina, though his effort was not enough to prevent a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Hapoel Tel Aviv in the top flight. In contrast, Matthew Cudjoe enjoyed a far more comfortable outing, scoring in Sakhnin’s dominant 3-0 victory over SC Ashdod to cap an impressive team display.
Over in Switzerland, Daniel Afriyie delivered a late goal for FC Aarau in their Swiss Challenge League encounter away to FC Vaduz. Despite his late strike, Aarau were unable to complete the comeback and eventually slipped to a narrow 3-2 defeat on Friday night.
Spain’s Primera Federación also featured a strong Ghanaian contribution, with Bernard Somuah maintaining his impressive run of form. His influence helped Celta Vigo II secure a crucial 1-0 win over Real Madrid Castilla, extending his growing reputation in the competitive Spanish third tier.
From England to Spain, Ghanaian players continue to leave their imprint across Europe, underlining their quality and importance to their respective teams as the season unfolds.
