Ghanaian youngster Edmund Baidoo scored from close range in Sogndal’s 1-1 draw against Åsane in the Norwegian OBOS-ligaen.
The 18-year-old, who started the game at the Åsane Arena, played the full 90 minutes and was instrumental in Sogndal’s goal on Monday.
The deadlock was broken 34 minutes into the game following a brilliant team effort. A slick combination on the left flank saw Oliver Hintsa played through, but his finish was saved by the Åsane goalkeeper. However, the rebound fell kindly to Baidoo, who made no mistake in slotting the ball home to give Sogndal a 1-0 lead.
In the second half, both teams created good scoring opportunities, but none were able to convert until the 86th minute. A cross from the left found its way across the entire field and was headed down to Åsane’s centre-back Magnus Bruun-Hanssen, who volleyed the ball into the goal to level the score at 1-1.
Baidoo has been in impressive form this season, making three appearances, scoring twice, and providing one assist in the 1st Division.
