Ghana striker, Abdul Majeed Warris scored with a poacher’s effort for Racing Strasbourg on Sunday when the team suffered a narrow defeat to Girondins de Bordeaux in the French Ligue 1.
The striker missed out on a starting eleven spot on the matchday but was called upon by his manager to help the team fight to come from behind.
This was after a hat-trick from Hwan Ui-Jo and a strike from Alberth Elis had put Bordeaux on the path to secure a big win at home.
Through a strong second-half performance, Racing Strasbourg almost turned things around but unfortunately did not have the luxury of time.
In-from striker Kevin Gamero netted a brace for the visitors before a goal late in added time by Abdul Majeed Warris cut the deficit to just one.
