Dutch-born striker of Ghanaian descent, Brian Brobbey netted the winning goal for Ajax on Thursday night when the team defeated Lille 2-1 in the Uefa Europa League.
The Dutch Eredivisie club yesterday played as a guest to the French Ligue 1 club in the first of a two-legged tie in the Round of 32 of the European inter-club competition.
Although he started from the bench as a substitute, Brian Brobbey was introduced in the 73rd minute at a point in the game where Lille had taken the lead through a strike from Timothy Weah.
Impressing with his attacking play, the highly-rated teenager went on to score with a smart finish in the 89th minute to seal a win for Ajax after a penalty kick converted by Dusan Tadic had drawn level for the away team earlier.
The win sees Ajax take advantage into the second leg of the tie scheduled to be played in Amsterdam next week.
