Ghanaian forward Jalal Abdulai emerged as the hero for Elfsborg, clinching a vital 1-0 victory over Halmstad in the Swedish Allsvenskan on Monday night.
Abdulai, who recently joined Elfsborg from Ghanaian side Inter Allies FC, made an immediate impact with a late match-winning goal.
The 18-year-old striker was introduced into the game in the 73rd minute to replace Sveinn Gudjohnsen, aiming to make a difference during a challenging period in the game.
Abdulai’s moment of glory arrived in the 89th minute when he seized an opportunity on one side and took a shot that found the back of the net.
