Ghanaian forward Daniel Afriyie Barnieh delivered a match-winning performance for FC Aarau on Saturday, scoring a decisive 81st-minute goal to seal a hard-fought 2-1 away victory over Neuchâtel Xamax in the Swiss Challenge League.
With the game finely balanced at 1-1 heading into the final stages, Barnieh rose to the occasion, producing a composed finish that ultimately secured all three points for Aarau. The goal—his fifth of the season—was a timely response to the club’s recent struggles, bringing an end to their two-game losing streak.
The Ghanaian forward has been one of Aarau’s most consistent performers this campaign, and his latest strike further cements his importance to the team as they push to climb the league standings.
Aarau’s victory not only restores confidence within the camp but also underscores Barnieh’s growing influence in Switzerland, where he continues to impress with his sharp movement, work rate, and decisive contributions in key moments.
