Ghanaian forward Samuel Obeng delivered a moment of brilliance to secure a dramatic late victory for Albacete Balompié in their Segunda División clash against UD Las Palmas.
Coming off the bench with just 13 minutes left on the clock, Obeng turned the game on its head with a sensational strike that left fans in awe. The former Ghana U23 striker showed great awareness inside the box, expertly controlling a loose ball before unleashing a powerful left-footed volley that proved to be the match-winner.
Albacete had found themselves trailing for most of the game after Taisei Miyashiro gave Las Palmas the lead in the first half. The visitors looked on course to secure all three points until a late surge from the hosts changed the narrative.
The comeback began when Albacete were awarded a penalty in the closing stages, calmly converted by Jefte Betancor to restore parity. With momentum now on their side and the home crowd energized, Obeng stepped up to deliver the decisive moment, striking with precision and power to complete a remarkable turnaround.
The goal marks Obeng’s third of the season and his first since joining Albacete during the winter transfer window from AD Ceuta. Despite arriving only in January, the Ghanaian forward is already proving to be an important addition to the squad, bringing energy, physical presence, and a keen eye for goal.
The victory is a significant boost for Albacete, who climb to 14th place in the league standings after ending a frustrating run of five matches without a win. More importantly, the result could serve as a turning point in their campaign as they look to push further up the table.
His ability to make an instant impact off the bench highlights both his quality and readiness to seize key moments — traits that could see him become a central figure for Albacete as the season progresses.
