BK Hacken began their 2023 Sweden topflight league campaign in style with a commanding 2-0 away victory over IF Elfsborg, thanks to a stellar performance from Ghanaian youngster, Ibrahim Sadiq.
Sadiq, who had impressed in both the previous season and during the off-season, got Hacken on the scoresheet in the 20th minute.
The former Ghana youth player leaped high to head in a cross from Lars Olden Larsen, handing his side the lead.

Hacken extended their advantage in the 71st minute through Amane Romeo, effectively ending any hopes of a comeback from IF Elfsborg.
Sadiq's well-taken goal was his sixth in all competitions so far this year, and his 12th across all games, including friendly matches. With a string of strong performances under his belt, the young forward will be hoping to make the Ghana national squad for the upcoming matches.
Meanwhile, compatriots Emmanuel Boateng and Michael Baidoo both featured for IF Elfsborg. Although Baidoo started the match, he was forced to leave the pitch in the 44th minute due to an injury and was replaced by Boateng.
