Ghanaian midfielder Abdul Majeed Ashimeru scored his first goal of the season to secure a 2-1 victory for Anderlecht over Royal Antwerp in their Belgium Pro League match.

Coming off the bench in the 74th minute, Ashimeru made an immediate impact, finding the net just five minutes later. His goal proved decisive, following an own goal by Senne Lammens and a first-half equalizer from former Tottenham defender Tobi Alderweireld for Antwerp.

The 26-year-old, who missed most of the previous season due to injury, is off to a strong start this campaign, contributing to Anderlecht’s back-to-back wins. Ashimeru, who signed a contract extension before the season began, had started the league opener against STVV and played a key role as a substitute in this match.

He is expected to return to the Black Stars squad for their upcoming AFCON qualifiers against Angola and Sudan in September
