Ghanaian defender Ebenezer Annan stole the spotlight with a scintillating display, netting his maiden goal and providing a crucial assist, as Red Star Belgrade romped to a resounding 3-0 victory over Radnicki Nis in the Serbian Super Liga on Saturday.
Annan’s pinpoint passing unlocked the opposition’s defense, setting up Bruno Duarte for the opener in the 10th minute.
The Ghanaian fullback’s attacking prowess was on full display as he made a lung-busting run into the box, receiving a return pass from Duarte to score his debut goal and double the lead in the 23rd minute.
Red Star’s dominance continued unabated, with Mirko Ivanic putting the icing on the cake with a third goal in the 71st minute.
Annan’s defensive solidity was equally impressive, as he demonstrated his ability to excel in both defensive and attacking roles.
The Ghanaian defender’s tour-de-force performance underscored his growing influence at Red Star, and his maiden goal is set to boost his confidence as the season unfolds.
Meanwhile, Ghanaian duo Joseph Opoku and Ibrahim Tanko were unused substitutes for Radnicki Nis, watching from the bench as the entire 90 minutes unfolded.
Having spent the first half of the season on loan at OFK Beograd, Annan has racked up 26 outings in the Serbian top-tier this term, boasting an impressive tally of one goal and six assists, thereby strengthening his claim for increased game time.
His dual threat as a defender and attacking force will be pivotal in Red Star’s quest to clinch an unprecedented eighth consecutive Serbian league title.
