Ghanaian forward Ibrahim Sadiq netted his first goal of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League qualifiers for Swedes Champions BK Hacken against Walsh side The New Saints.
The in-form attacker needed just seven minutes to get his name on the score sheet to put the hosts 1-0 up early in the game to settle any nerves for the home fans.
His right-footed shot from the center of the box found the top center of the goal to make sure his team had a perfect start to the game with his second goal in consecutive games on his return from injury.
Six minutes later, Mikkel Rygaard added the second goal for the Black and Yellows outfit with a simple tap in from very close range to make it 2-0.
Declan McManus reduced the deficit to one for the away team with another close range strike to make it 2-1.
Five minutes later, Even Hovland found the back of the net to restore the home team’s two goals lead at the end of the first 45 minutes and there were no goals in the second half of the match as it finished 3-1 to BK Hacken.
