Ghanaian attacker Benjamin Bernard Boateng was on target when Al Ittihad Alexandria secured emphatic victory over Pharco FC in the Egyptian Premier League on Tuesday evening.
Al Ittihad Alexandria extended their unbeaten streak to six games after a 3-1 home win over Pharco FC at the Borg El Arab Stadium.
Egyptian international Abdelghani Mohamed opened the scoring for the Green and White lads in the 14th minute of the game.
Bernard Boateng doubled their lead in the 23rd minute to aid Al Ittihad Alexandria to end the first department of the match with a 2-0 lead.
Six minutes after recess, the visitors pulled one back through Sudanese forward Saifeldin Bakhit but the two-goal lead was restored by Khaled El Ghandour in the 84th minute to end the fixture in a 3-1 win for the host.
The former Elmina Sharks talismanic forward lasted for 59 minutes before he was replaced by Mahmoud Shabana while his compatriot Moro Salifu, formerly of Bechem United enjoyed the full duration of the game.
Bernard Boateng, who has a contract with Al Ittihad Alexandria until the summer of 2024, has scored three goals in seven league appearances.
The 23-year-old joined the Egyptian side from former Ghana Premier League campaigners Elmina Sharks in 2021 for an undisclosed fee.
He once earned a call-up to feature for the Black Galaxies during the 2020 CHAN Qualifiers.
