Published on: 07 August 2023

Ghanaian forward Godsway Donyoh was in fine form when Apollon Limassol defeated Paphos FC in a preseason friendly game on Sunday.

The enterprising striker emerged as the hero when his outfit inflicted a 2-1 win over their opponent in their penultimate friendly game ahead of the start of the new campaign.

Donyoh scored both goals to hel Apollon Limassol beat their Cypriot rivals Paphos at the Alphamega Stadium in Kollosi, Cyprus.

Despite creating some scoring opportunities, both teams were unable to find the back of the net as the first ended in a pulsating goalless draw.

A spirited performance in the second half saw Apollon Limassol secure victory in the clash. Donyoh opened the scoring for his outfit in the 60th minute mark after connecting from the spot.

The Right to Dream Academy graduate doubled his outfit advantage in the game after founding the back of the net three minutes later before Czech defender Josef Kvida got the consolation goal in the 72nd minute.

Meanwhile, compatriot Patrick Twumasi was introduced in the match in the 82nd minute to make his debut for Paphos, replacing Colombian player Jeisson Palacios.

Apollon will face Italian champions Napoli in their last friendly match four days later before their 2023-24 campaign begins on August 19.

Donyoh joined Apollon during the winter transfer window from Azerbaijani side Neftchi Baku. He managed to score three goals in 13 appearances in the Cypriot championship before the 2022-23 season closed.
