Ghana striker Prince Tagoe has written his name in Serbian folklore by scoring both goals for Partizan Belgrade as they beat their bitter rivals Red Star Belgrade 2-0 on Wednesday.The margin could have been wider but enterprising and hardworking Ghanaian striker Dominic Adiyiah was unlucky to fluff a glorious opportunity set up by Tagoe late in the game.Tagoe, who joined Partizan from German side Hoffenheim in January, took his tally to six goals in four games for Partizan as the Serbian champions stretched their unbeaten run against Red Star to nine matches.The match was supposed to be the clash of Ghanaians in the Serbian top-flight but only Tagoe and Adiyiah featured for their club.Issah Awal was left on the Red Stars bench while Lee Addy suffered a fresh sprain on his dodgy thigh on Tuesday night which ruled him out of the game.But it was Tagoe and Adiyiah who held the Ghanaian flag aloft in one of the fiercest rivalries in world football.Tagoe put Partizan in the lead after just four minutes when his header redirected a long-range effort that fooled the Red Star goalkeeper.But that time it was clear the former European Champions were missing Addy at the back as they struggled to contain Tagoe.The Ghanaian striker’s powerful header from the free kick four minutes after the break bounced before the keeper could react to hand Partizan the advantage ahead of the second-leg of the semi final of the Serbia Cup.Adiyiah came on as a late substitute and his talent and pace was on display with Red Star defenders taking the rough approach on him.Tagoe sweetly back-heeled Adiyiah in for an inviting opportunity but a flying tackle from an opponent prevented the Ghanaian player from pulling the trigger on target.By this feat Tagoe has established himself as a legend for the club while Partizan fans having tasted the sweetness of Ghanaian firepower are calling for more playing time for the dangerous Adiyiah.Source: Ghanasoccernet
