Adjei-Boateng’s debut goal sends CFR Cluj to the Conference League knockout phase
Ghana midfielder, Bismarck Nana Adjei-Boateng registered his debut goal in the Europa Conference League with his goal proving timely as it powered Romanian side CFR Cluj to the knockout phase of Europe’s third-tier competition.
Adjei-Boateng scored the game’s only goal in the 17th minute against Kosovo side Balkani by capitalizing on Balkani’s failure to clear a corner kick inside the penalty box.
CFR Cluj Captain Ciprian Deac had the chance to double Cluj’s lead but his penalty attempt proved unsuccessful.
The win gave Cluj a second-place finish in Group G with 10 points, winning three of six games; Sivasspor topped the group with 11 points with Slavia Prague ranking third with eight points.
Ghanaians Adjei-Boateng and Emmanuel Yeboah lasted the entire duration of the game against Balkani.
Adjei-Boateng featured in all six games for Cluj in the Conference League in the defensive midfield position but played in a more scanned midfield role in a handful of games.
