Ghanaian forward Daniel Afriyie Barnieh displayed a stellar performance for FC Zurich in a Swiss league showdown against Luzern on Sunday, leaving a lasting impact on the game with his exceptional skills.
FC Zurich faced little resistance from the home crowd as they surged ahead with a goal from Nikola Katic just 15 minutes into the match, securing a lead that they maintained until halftime.
Italian international Antonio Marchesano further solidified their advantage by scoring in the 54th minute with a clinical finish. Marchesano then went on to secure his second goal of the game and Zurich’s third, all thanks to an assist from the impressive Barnieh, who played a pivotal role in setting up Marchesano’s second goal.
Barnieh, who previously played for Hearts of Oak, left the field during stoppage time, capping off a remarkable performance in a match where his team convincingly triumphed with a 4-1 away victory over Luzern during their week nine clash.
FC Zurich continued to dominate, adding a fourth goal courtesy of Armstrong Oko-Flex just four minutes before the end of the match. Although Luzern managed to pull one goal back, with Lars Villiger finding the net in stoppage time, it was FC Zurich’s day to shine.
At just 22 years old, Barnieh has been making a significant impact for his club, tallying two goals and providing one assist in eight games. His performance in this match underscored his potential and value to FC Zurich, and fans can expect to see more exciting displays from him in the future.
