Ghanaian youngster Raymond Anokye Asante scored once again for Udinese U19s in their playoff game against Napoli on Saturday.

Asante netted twice in the game to take the fixture to extra time with his side claiming the victory.

Napoli scored the opening goal of the game in the 19th minute through Gianluca Vigliotti giving the home side the lead at the break.

However, the Ghanaian scored twice to put the game in the favour of Udinese. The 19-year-old first stepped up from the penalty spot in the 62nd minute before his second came four minutes later.
