Ghanaian young talent, Kwame Poku, showcased his prowess on the pitch for Peterborough United in their recent English League One encounter against Exeter City, netting the decisive goal in a thrilling 2-1 triumph at the Weston Homes Stadium.
The 22-year-old midfielder’s contribution proved instrumental as the Posh secured a crucial victory, maintaining their position in the playoff spots of the league standings.
Peterborough got off to a flying start when English forward Ephron Mason-Clark found the back of the net just four minutes into the match, setting the tone for an exhilarating contest.
However, Exeter City fought back, with former England U21 midfielder Tom Carroll equalizing before the halftime whistle, setting the stage for a tense second half.
In the 68th minute, Poku stepped up for Peterborough, unleashing a powerful left-footed strike from inside the penalty area, guiding the ball low into the bottom corner and securing the winning goal for his side.
The victory propelled Peterborough United to the 5th position in the league standings, amassing 62 points from 34 matches as they continue their push for promotion to the Championship next season.
Poku’s consistent performances throughout the 2023-24 campaign have been noteworthy, with the midfielder tallying an impressive 9 goals and providing 7 assists in 28 appearances for Peterborough, further establishing himself as a key figure for the team.
