Ghanaian youngster Jerry Afriyie continued his impressive form in Spain’s Primera Federación by netting a vital goal on Saturday, helping CD Lugo secure a crucial 2-0 victory against Zamora CF.
The win brings Lugo closer to avoiding relegation as the season nears its conclusion.
The 18-year-old attacker has now contributed two goals and one assist in his last four matches, making a significant impact at a critical stage for the club.
Afriyie’s influence was evident throughout the match, with a moment of brilliance that effectively sealed the three points for Lugo.
The breakthrough came in the 38th minute when Zamora defender Kike, under pressure, misjudged a set-piece and scored an own goal.
Riding the momentum, Lugo controlled the game and searched for a second goal.
Midway through the second half, Afriyie capitalized on a long pass near the center circle, showcasing excellent vision and technique by delicately chipping the ball over the advancing Zamora goalkeeper.
The goal highlighted his composure, awareness of space, and perfect timing.
Zamora introduced fellow Ghanaian midfielder Eugene Frimpong in the second half, but his efforts were insufficient to change the outcome.
With this win, Lugo move closer to safety, and Afriyie’s continued form could prove decisive in their fight for survival.
