Ghanaian-born Italian forward Kelvin Yeboah continued his impressive goalscoring form after finding the net in Minnesota United’s 3-1 comeback victory over Sporting Kansas City in Major League Soccer on Thursday.
The 26-year-old striker started the encounter at Allianz Field and featured for 89 minutes, playing an influential role as Minnesota recovered from an early setback to secure all three points in their Round 32 fixture.
Sporting Kansas City took the lead in the 31st minute through Taylor Calheira, leaving the hosts trailing at the break despite enjoying home advantage.
Minnesota United returned for the second half with renewed determination and eventually restored parity in the 72nd minute through Anthony Markanich, giving the home supporters hope of a comeback.
The hosts continued to press for the winning goal and completed their turnaround when Mauricio González found the back of the net to put Minnesota ahead.
Yeboah then put the result beyond doubt in the 88th minute, scoring his team’s third goal to complete an impressive comeback and seal a deserved 3-1 victory.
The Ghanaian-born attacker was subsequently substituted in the 89th minute after delivering another influential performance for his team.
His latest strike further underlines his remarkable scoring form this season, having now registered 18 goals and four assists in 31 MLS appearances.
Yeboah’s consistency in front of goal has made him an important attacking figure for Minnesota United, with his contributions proving valuable as the club approaches the closing stages of the campaign.
The forward will now be hoping to maintain his impressive form and continue delivering goals as Minnesota United seek to finish the season strongly.
