Audio By Carbonatix

Ghanaian forward Joseph Opoku scored his first goal for Zulte Waregam in their weekend win in the Belgian Challenge Pro League.

The 19-year-old scored the winning goal in the five-goal thriller on Sunday, September 29, to give his side all three points against Anderlecht's U23s.

Opoku started his second consecutive game for Waregam in the game and lasted almost the entire duration against Anderlecht on the road.

The home side took the lead in the ninth minute of the game through Lilian Vergeylen before Waregam levelled the score after Jelle Vossen's strike.

Jeppe Erenbjerg put the away side shortly after their leveller but Anderlecht were quick to get the equaliser before the break.

After the second half, Waregam had the upper hand and controlled the tempo of the game.

They found their lead again after Opoku netted in the 70th minute to make it 2-3.

The goal was the first for the Ghanaian since signing his professional contract with the Belgian club earlier this month.
