Ghana international Kwadwo Opoku
Ghanaian forward Kwadwo Opoku netted his maiden goal of the 2022 Major League Soccer season for Los Angeles FC in the 2-0 victory against Inter Miami on Saturday night.
A first-half sending-off for veteran Brek Shea played a key role in LAFC’s deserved win at DRV PNK Stadium.
A match that started slowly imploded swiftly for the visitors.
On the stroke of halftime, Kwadwo Opoku took advantage of a deflected pass and sloppy Inter Miami marking before hitting the back of the net from a tight angle.
The strike was the youngster’s first in the current campaign.
Ismael Tajouri-Shradi emerged from the bench to cap off the afternoon for the visitors with a sublime goal eight minutes from time.
Opoku was replaced on the hour mark with Colombian forward Cristian Arango.
The 20-year-old joined the Los Angeles-based outfit from Ghanaian lower-tier side Attram De Visser Academy in 2020.
He is expected to keep his place in the team when Steve Cherundolo’s men host Vancouver Whitecaps on March 20.
