Ghanaian forward Daniel Afriyie Barnieh played a starring role in FC Aarau’s dramatic comeback victory over Rapperswil-Jona, contributing a goal and an assist as his side recovered from a two-goal deficit to secure a 3-2 win.
The former Hearts of Oak attacker was at the centre of Aarau’s fightback, producing a decisive attacking display that helped turn the game around after Rapperswil-Jona had established a 2-0 lead.
Barnieh got himself on the scoresheet to register his first goal of the season, providing a major boost to Aarau as they began their comeback.
The Ghana international also recorded his second assist of the campaign, further underlining his influence in the final third and his importance to Aarau’s attacking play.
His contribution proved crucial as Aarau refused to surrender despite falling two goals behind. The team gradually fought its way back into the contest before completing the turnaround to claim all three points.
Barnieh’s performance will come as an encouraging development for the former Hearts of Oak forward, who continues to build his rhythm and influence in Swiss football.
With a goal and an assist in the same match, Barnieh directly contributed to two of Aarau’s three goals, playing a significant role in one of the side’s most impressive comebacks.
The victory also highlights his growing importance to the team, with his attacking quality and ability to create opportunities proving decisive in a game that appeared to be slipping away from Aarau after the early 2-0 setback.
Barnieh will now hope to build on the performance and maintain his momentum as Aarau continue their campaign.
