Ghanaian defender Eric Boakye scored his first goal of the season for Slovenian giants Olimpija Ljubljana in their 3-2 lose to RFS in the Europa League qualifying round on Thursday.

Boakye was on target for his side in their five-goal thriller against the Latvian club in the first leg of the preliminary stage of the Europa Cup.

The 19-year old scored for Ljubljana in the 81st minute to level the scoreline at 1-1 after Darko Lemajic had put RFS in the lead seven minutes after the break.

The Ghanaian's leveler did not last as seven minutes later Gleb Kluskins put RFS in the lead again.

But two minutes later Luke Menalos equalized only for the Dragons to concede late in injury time through Tin Vukmanic.

The two sides meet again next week in Latvia for the second leg.
