Ghanaian goalkeeper Joseph Anang achieved his first clean sheet for St. Patrick’s Athletic as they secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Waterford FC in the Irish Premier Division on Friday.
The 24-year-old shot-stopper played a crucial role in round 31 of the league, making six vital saves to help his side maintain their lead.
Anang’s performance was instrumental in ensuring that St. Patrick’s dominated the match, marking a significant milestone for the goalkeeper, who joined the club on a free transfer from West Ham United earlier this summer.
The hosts opened the scoring in the 35th minute when Zachary Elbouzedi converted a well-timed pass from Brandon Kavanagh. Just four minutes later, Mason Melia extended the lead, finding the back of the net with an assist from Jake Mulraney.
St. Patrick’s continued their dominance throughout the match, and Aidan Keena sealed the victory with a goal 13 minutes from time, rounding off a comprehensive performance.
Despite representing England at the youth level, Anang remains eligible to play for Ghana at the senior level, adding intrigue to his international future. His clean sheet and standout performance bolster his reputation as a key player for St. Patrick’s moving forward.
