Emmanuel Boateng, a former Ghanaian international, stepped up for his Rio Ave team, rescuing them from potential defeat against Farense in the Portuguese top-flight over the weekend.
Despite trailing by a goal before Boateng’s entry in the second half, he quickly made an impact, equalizing the score just five minutes after coming onto the pitch.
His impressive performance helped Rio Ave secure a crucial 1-1 draw, marking his sixth goal of the season along with four assists in 20 appearances.
Despite his stellar form, Boateng was surprisingly omitted from the Black Stars squad for the March international break, during which Ghana faced Nigeria and Uganda.
Nevertheless, Boateng’s consistency and valuable contributions on the field continue to shine, demonstrating his importance to his club side.
As a former Levante striker, Boateng’s knack for making decisive impacts off the bench underscores his significance to Rio Ave’s campaign in the Portuguese top-tier league.
Additionally, Boateng’s Ghanaian compatriot, Abdul-Aziz Yakubu, also featured for Rio Ave, entering the game in the 86th minute for Ze Manuel.
