Richard Gadze and Anthony Annan played a vital role in HJK Helsinki’s 2-1 Europa league away win over Swedish Club IFK Göteborg.

Goals from A.Tanaka and A.Morelos were enough to see HJK secure a good away win in the Play-offs and make their qualification to the Europa League Group stages easier.

The 21 year old Gadze who played from the left hand side of attack, lasted for 87 minutes after Obed Malolo came on to replace him. Annan on the other hand, featured for the entire duration of the game but unfortunately saw a yellow card in the 81st minute for a reckless challenge on an opponent.

HJK Helsinki will be hoping to make the second leg of the play-offs a formality when they host IFK Göteborg at the Sonera Stadium next week.
