Ghanaian teenager Ernest Opoku has climbed to fourth in the top scorer’s ranking in the UEFA Youth League this season.
The 18-year-old who has been in fine form for the Dutch U-19 team was on target for AZ Alkmaar when they were held by Red Star Belgrade U19.
AZ Alkmaar failed to hold on to a two-goal advantage in the first half for Red Star to salvage a 2-2 draw in the end on Tuesday in final round of the Winners play-offs.
Opoku, who is tied on 8 goals with Ilyes Housni and Adrian Nino, is only behind Bilal Mazhar and Mexx Meerdink who have 9 goals each.
The Ghanaian youngster is expected to play a huge role for his outfit in the second leg tie against Red Star Belgrade in Serbia.
