Gyan’s strike secures victory for AS Roma against Sassuolo in Italy’s Youth division

After an intense, entertaining first 45minutes produced three yellow cards, Felix Afena-Gyan gave Roma the breakthrough when he broke the deadlock in the 59th minute to register his first goal of the season.

Last week, the 18-year-old played a sacrificial role for teammates when they thrashed Torino 4-0 on the road. Mondoprimavera described Felix as the best player on the field during his 80 mins of play.

Gyan’s goal against Sassuolo secured Roma their second consecutive victory of the season whiles ensuring that they’re the only side yet to drop points after matchday two.

Sassuolo featured two other Ghanaian footballers. Midfielders Salim Abubakar and Justin Kumi were in action for the Neroverdi. Abubakar played the entire duration of the game while Kumi was introduced in the 60 minutes.

AS Roma lead the Primavera league table with two points above Inter after two fixtures, the Giallorossi will play Milan next weekend.
