St Étienne midfielder Augustine Boakye delivered a moment of brilliance on Sunday afternoon, scoring a crucial late goal to salvage a 1-1 draw against Nantes in their Ligue 1 encounter at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
The Green and Whites found themselves trailing for most of the match after conceding an early goal. Despite creating several chances, St Étienne struggled to find the back of the net, with the visiting side’s defense proving difficult to break.
However, Boakye, who has been a standout performer this season, stepped up when it mattered most. In the dying minutes of the game, the Ghanaian midfielder produced a composed finish to restore parity, sending the home fans into raptures.
This was Boakye’s third goal of the campaign, further cementing his status as one of St Étienne’s key players. His late heroics ensured the team avoided a home defeat and gained a valuable point in their quest to climb the Ligue 1 table.
St Étienne head coach praised Boakye after the game, describing him as “a player who rises to the occasion when the team needs him most.”
Boakye’s consistency and ability to deliver in crucial moments will undoubtedly play a significant role in their success moving forward.
