Ghanaian forward Kwaku Karikari scored his first-ever goal in the Serbian Super Liga on Saturday, though his strike was not enough to save FK Zeleznicar Pancevo from a 3-1 defeat against OFK Beograd in Round 9 of the 2025/26 season.
The 21-year-old attacker, who joined Zeleznicar on loan from Danish Superliga side AC Horsens, found the back of the net at the FC Mladost Stadium to temporarily bring his side level before the visitors went on to claim victory.
Beograd took the lead in the 17th minute through Dutch striker Jay Enem.
Karikari responded brilliantly after the half-hour mark, finishing off a pass from Aleksa Kuljanin to register his maiden goal in Serbian top-flight football.
Despite the Ghanaian’s equaliser, Zeleznicar could not maintain momentum.
Enem struck again early in the second half to restore Beograd’s advantage, before Nikola Knezevic converted a stoppage-time penalty to seal the result.
Compatriot Abdul Razak Yussif also featured, playing the full 90 minutes in defence for Zeleznicar.
Karikari has now made five appearances in the Serbian Super Liga this season, recording one goal and one assist, as he continues to adapt and make his mark in European football.
