LASK claimed a hard-fought 3-2 win against WSG Tirol on matchday 20 of the Austria Bundesliga, thanks in part to a stellar performance from their Ghanaian forward, Ibrahim Mustapha.
The 22-year-old opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, firing a powerful right-footed shot into the back of the net after receiving a long ball from Sascha Horvath.
Mustapha then turned provider, setting up Keito Nakamura's goal in the 34th minute to give Lask a two-goal cushion.
However, Tirol bounced back in the second half, scoring two quick goals to level the scoreline. But Lask sealed a crucial victory, with Robert Zulj scoring an injury-time winner.
Mustapha's impressive display as the focal point of attack will have boosted his confidence, despite being substituted in the 77th minute.
The win keeps Lask in third position in the Austria Bundesliga table with 37 points, just one point behind second-placed Rapid Vienna. Mustapha's first goal and assist for the club will be a much-needed boost for the young forward as he continues to settle into the team.
