German-born Ghanaian international Kingsley Sarpei, climbed off the bench to star for German side Bayer 04 Leverkusen but could not help them avoid a heavy defeat at the hands of Juventus in the UEFA Youth League on Wednesday.
The forward, 17, was introduced right before resumption of play in the second-half and he lasted the entire second period of the game.
However his presence couldn’t change things as Juventus went ahead to score three extra goals in the second half with Leverkusen failing to respond.
