Ghanaian youth forward Malik Abubakari debuts in UEFA Champions League as Malmo win over Rangers
Ghanaian youth forward Malik Abubakari came off the bench to play the last minutes for Malmo FF in their 2-1 win over Rangers in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
The 21-year-old was introduced on the 88th minute mark by Malmo manager Jon Dahl Tomasson to replace Antonio Colak at the Eleda Stadion.
Soren Reiks slotted home the opener in the 47th minute, before Veljko Birmancevic (49) – who had set him up – saw a shot home via the bottom of the post to ultimately seal the victory for the hosts.
However, there was late drama to be had when, with the last kick of the game, Davis (90+5) fired home from the edge of the box to half the deficit and give Rangers a fighting chance.
Abubakari joined the 2020 Allsvenskan champions from Portuguese side Moreirense for a reported €400,000.
He is a former player of Charity Stars.
