Ghana international, Felix Afena-Gyan scored with a fine header for U.S Cremonese in Italy on Tuesday night.
The crucial goal has helped his club to eliminate SSC Napoli from this season’s Coppa Italia.
For a player who has struggled for form since joining U.S Cremonese from AS Roma, Felix Afena-Gyan today was a second-half substitute for his club in the away cup match.
In the match, the visitors took a surprise lead in the 18th minute when Charles Picket equalised in the 18th minute.
Later in the first half before the break, goals from Juan Jesus and Giovanne Simeone turned things around for Napoli as the giants took a 2-1 lead into the break.
Thanks to the resilience of U.S Cremonese, the team forced the match to enter extra time courtesy of a late strike from Ghana striker Felix Afena-Gyan.
With no goal in extra time, U.S Cremonese stunned Napoli in the shootout to secure a 5-4 win.
Felix Afena-Gyan and his teammates are now through to the quarter-finals of this season’s Coppa Italia.
