Ghana defender Jerome Opoku scored the winning goal in Istanbul Basaksehir’s match against Kasimpasa, securing a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League for next season.
Opoku’s rebound penalty in the 81st minute gave his team a crucial victory, opening a four-point gap over sixth-place Eyuspor.
With two games remaining for Basaksehir and one for Eyuspor, it’s unlikely Eyuspor can catch up.
Opoku has been a key player for Basaksehir since joining from Arouca, scoring three goals and providing two assists in 31 games this season.
His performance has earned him recognition, and he’s expected to be part of the Black Stars squad for the upcoming Unity Cup tournament in London.
The victory over Kasimpasa marks a significant achievement for Opoku and Basaksehir, ensuring European football next season.
