Ghana midfielder Augustine Boakye delivered a moment of brilliance on Sunday afternoon, scoring a stunning late goal to secure a crucial point for AS Saint-Etienne in their French Ligue 1 clash against Nantes.
Boakye, who started the match on the bench, was introduced in the second half as his side struggled to overturn a deficit.
With AS Saint-Etienne trailing, the 24-year-old midfielder showcased his technical prowess and game awareness, making an instant impact.
Nantes had taken the lead early in the game through Moses Simon, who weaved past defenders before unleashing a powerful strike into the top left corner in the 14th minute, leaving ASSE goalkeeper Gautier Larsonneur helpless.
However, as the clock wound down, Augustine Boakye stepped up in the 86th minute with a moment of sheer brilliance.
Receiving a precise pass, he unleashed a long-range rocket that soared past the Nantes goalkeeper and nestled into the left corner of the net, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
His crucial equaliser marked his third goal in 11 appearances for AS Saint-Etienne this season, underlining his growing influence in the team.
The midfielder will hope his impressive displays today will earn him a starting role in the next outing of his team.
