In a thrilling Italian Primavera 1 clash on Monday, young Ghanaian forward Amoako Minta once again proved his rising star status, finding the net in Sassuolo’s 3-1 defeat to Roma at the Enzo Ricci Park.

Roma drew first blood in the opening minute, but Minta quickly responded in the 10th minute with a moment of brilliance. Pressing high up the pitch, the energetic winger pounced on a defensive error, snatched the ball, and embarked on a dazzling solo run. With calm composure, he rounded the goalkeeper and slotted home with his weaker foot — a goal that highlighted not just his technical ability, but his growing maturity on the pitch.

The goal marked Minta’s fifth of the season, adding to his six assists — a tally that underscores his importance in coach Emiliano Bigica’s setup. Sassuolo held their own for much of the encounter, but two late goals from Roma in the 83rd and 84th minutes ultimately decided the game.

Despite the loss, Sassuolo remain in third place on the Primavera 1 table, and Minta’s performances continue to turn heads as the season draws to a close.
