Ghana international Frank Acheampong has shared his excitement after netting his first goal of the season for Henan FC in the Chinese Super League.
Acheampong played a huge role as his outfit cruised to a narrow win over Qingdao Hainiu in the week 7 of the top-flight.
The former Black Stars winger scored the only goal to propel his outfit to secure the three maximum points at stake on Sunday.
“Elated to have scored my first goal of the season!” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The first half of the game ended in a pulsating goalless draw at the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium, as both teams struggled to find the back of the net.
But Acheampong proved to be the hero for Henan FC after the halftime break, scoring a crucial goal to secure maximum points for his outfit on home turf.
The former Anderlecht star opened the scoring five minutes into the second half after connecting from Nemanja Covic pass.
And with no additional goal, Henan FC cruised to victory to merit the three maximum points at stake.
The 30-year-old has featured in all seven games this season for Henan FC, scoring one goal and providing an assist.
Acheampong joined Henan FC in February 2024 and signed a contract that will keep him at the club until December 2025.
