Young Ghanaian striker Felix Afena-Gyan netted his first goal for Cremonese in their resounding 4-2 victory over Modena to cruise into the third round of the Coppa Italia
The 19 year old joined the Gray and Reds prior to the commencement of the ongoing season on loan from his mother club AS Roma and has made some couple of appearances since though he comes off the bench on most occasions.
The Black Stars striker finally registered his first goal for Cremonese on the 84th minute in their precious win in the league cup today with a close range header after a free kick had went off the upright. And that was after David Okereke had put them in front on the 77th minute.
Just and when the host thought they were winning in regulation time, Davide Diaw netted a brace in the space of a minute at the stroke of full time to send the game to extra time.
Substitute Leornardo Sernicola subsequently won it for the Tigers in the second phase of the extra time with a brace to send his side to next stage of the league cup.
US Cremonese will face UC Sampdoria at the Giovanni Zini Stadium in their next Serie A fixture on Monday, October 24, 2022.
