In a night to remember, Ghanaian midfielder Ahmed Awua Ankrah lit up the pitch with a sensational goal, helping Riga FC secure a 2-0 win over European giants FC Porto in a friendly encounter on Sunday.

At just 23 years old, Ankrah continues to cement his status as one of Riga FC’s most influential players. The former Parma youth captain was at the heart of the action, dictating play with remarkable composure, strength, and vision.

His moment of magic arrived in the second half, when he unleashed an unstoppable strike from well outside the box, leaving the Porto goalkeeper with no chance. It was Ankrah’s first goal of the season across all competitions — and what a way to open his account.

Ankrah’s importance to Riga FC has only grown this season. He has appeared in 15 of the team’s 16 Latvia Virsliga matches, playing a key role in keeping Riga at the summit of the league table. His image is often front and centre in the club’s matchday promotions, a clear sign of his rising profile.

The midfield maestro’s standout display against such a high-calibre opponent underscores his rapid development and growing potential. With the business end of the season approaching, Ankrah will be eager to build on this performance and contribute more goals as Riga FC push for the league title.
