Dutch-born Ghanaian forward Ernest Poku scored and assisted another goal for AZ Alkmaar as they defeated Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon to reach the final of the 2022/23 UEFA Youth League.
Poku, 19, settled the scores for Alkmaar on the half-hour mark after Diogo Cabral had raced Sporting Lisbon into a 9th-minute lead at the Stade de Genève in Switzerland.
The promising forward was once again involved in the third goal of the game as he turned provider for Ro-Zangelo Daal who put Alkmaar into the lead 6 minutes later.
The regulation time ended 2-2 and the tie headed for penalty shootouts and Ghanaian goalkeeper Owusu-Oduro made two vital saves before Addai converted the winning penalty.
