Ghanaian attacking midfielder Augustine Boakye showcased his prowess on the field as he played a pivotal role in Wolfsberger AC’s recent victory against LASK Linz in the Austrian Bundesliga. Boakye, a former West Africa Football Academy (WAFA) midfielder, was instrumental in his team’s triumph, providing a brilliant assist that paved the way for their third win of the season.
The 22-year-old Boakye was the architect of Wolfsberger’s opening goal, setting up Bamba Mohammed with a perfectly timed assist in the 25th minute of the match. His performance was so impressive that he took to social media after the game, expressing his joy with the words, “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I’m #Possible.”
Wolfsberger continued to dominate the game, with Florian Rieder extending their lead fifteen minutes later, benefiting from an assist by substitute Lukas Ibertsberger. At halftime, Wolfsberger held a comfortable two-goal advantage.
However, the match took a twist when Wolfsberger was reduced to ten players due to Nikolas’ red card in the 73rd minute. Despite a late penalty converted by Thomas Goiginger to pull one back for LASK Linz, the home side managed to hold on, securing a final score of 2-1 and climbing to the fifth position in the league standings.
Boakye’s contributions throughout the season have been highly noteworthy, with the midfielder tallying two goals and two assists in seven league appearances for Wolfsberger AC. His exceptional performance in this match further solidified his importance to the team’s success in the Austrian Bundesliga.
