Ghana’s Nasiru Banahene scores on his debut for FC Honka in Finnish top-flight league opener

Ghanaian young defender Nasiru Banahene scored on his debut appearance for FC Honka in the Finnish top-flight league opener.  

Banahene’s strike rescued the Yellow and Black lads from defeat in their first game in the 2020/21 season against FC Haka at the Factory Field Stadium. 

Ten-man FC Honka managed to hold FC Haka to a 1-1 away draw after conceding in the first department of the match.

 The home side ended the first half in a 1-0 win after a penalty awarded to them was neatly converted by Eero Markkanen on the 39th minute. 

On the 60th minute, the former Liberty Professionals right-back levelled the score for FC Honka with a cool finish to start their league campaign on good note.

 The talented right-back lasted for 79 minutes whiles his compatriot Edmund Arko Mensah was introduced on the 74th minute of the match. 

The 19-year-old made seven appearances for FC Honka in the 2020 Finnish Cup which they were eliminated in the semis.

 He joined FC Honka on  permanent basis from Hungarian club MTK Budapest earlier this year.

Banahene is a product of Ghana Premier League side Liberty Professionals.
