Ghanaian rising star Augustine Boakye has earned a spot in Sofascore’s Austrian Bundesliga Team of the Week following a stellar performance for Wolfsberger AC.
Boakye, a former WAFA midfielder, showcased his devastating form in their triumph over Austria Lustenau.
Starting the game, the 23-year-old midfielder made a significant impact, securing his place on the scoresheet as Wolfsberger claimed a 3-2 away victory in the 14th clash at the Planet Pure Stadion.
Boakye wasted no time, breaking the deadlock just thirteen minutes into the game. The hosts held the advantage as they entered halftime. Austria international Thierno Ballo extended the lead with a penalty in the 64th minute, but Namory Cisse pulled one back for the hosts in the 69th minute.
Ballo secured his brace in the 78th minute, ultimately sealing the victory for Wolfsberger. Despite Yadaly Diaby reducing the deficit in the 85th minute, Boakye’s early contribution proved crucial.
Boakye, a key figure for Wolfsberger, continues to impress this season, tallying five goals and five assists in 13 appearances in the Austrian top-flight.
Additionally, Austrian-born Ghanaian defender Samson Baidoo earned recognition in the Team of the Week for his solid defensive performance, aiding RB Salzburg in securing a goalless draw against Austria Wien.
Baidoo, contributing with four clearances during his 90-minute play, played a pivotal role in the team’s defensive efforts.
