The 25-year-old free-scoring midfielder left it late to snatch the needed home victory for the Greens against the Yellow House in today's clash in the French second-tier contest
Ghana international attacking midfielder Augustine Boakye was on target for AS Saint-Étienne in their 1-0 home win over FC Nantes in the Ligue 2 on Saturday.
The former Wolfsberger AC man, who enjoyed the entire 90 minutes of the game, broke the hearts of the visitors in the dying embers of the clash by netting on the 90th-minute to hand his side all the maximum three points at stake at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
ln a recent interview, the West African Football Aacademy (WAFA) graduate revealed that, his Scottish gaffer Ian Cathro spurned him on to add goalscoring to his game outings prior to the start of the current Ligue 2 football season.
He said as quoted by AS Saint-Étienne French news aggregator Ferveur Verte: ''The coach asked me to be collective, to score, to score... This summer he told me he watched me last season as I have adapted to his project and tactics.
''l think I have made progress. It goes through good training, first to be physically fit. I've also progressed on French, it's helped me to adjust. I'm doing my best to reach the ascent goal, the one clearly set!'' he added.
Boakye, who has been on fire with goalscoring exploits this season, has so far racked up 6 goals and setting up another 3 in 10 games across all competitions for AS Saint-Étienne in this ongoing 2026/27 campaign.
On the international scene, the Bompata-born adroit left-footed wing-forward has won 2 caps for the Ghana national football team so far in his international football career.
