In a thrilling match at The Peninsula Stadium, English-born Ghana forward Emile Acquah showcased his skills by providing an assist for Barrow FC, although it wasn't enough to secure a victory as they succumbed to a 5-3 defeat against Salford City in the English League Two clash.

The action-packed encounter saw both teams exchanging goals, with Callum Hendry opening the scoring for Salford City in the 26th minute with a powerful strike from outside the box. However, Barrow responded just before halftime when Cole Stockton leveled the scoreline with a clinical finish, courtesy of an assist from Emile Acquah.

Barrow took the lead early in the second half as Tyrell Warren found the net with a header following a corner, but Salford City quickly equalized through Conor McAleny's precise effort in the 57th minute.

Despite Barrow's efforts to stay in the game, Salford City regained control with two quick goals from Callum Hendry and Matt Smith in the 67th and 77th minutes, respectively. Smith extended Salford's lead further with another goal in the 86th minute.

Barrow managed to pull one back in the dying moments of the game as Stockton scored his second goal, assisted by Sam Foley, but it wasn't enough to mount a comeback against a resilient Salford City side.
