Augustine Boakye makes flying start with an assist in season opener
Ghana forward Augustine Boakye has wasted little time reminding fans of his qualities, providing an assist for Saint-Etienne on the opening day of the new season against Sochaux.
Boakye returned to club football with a point to prove after being part of Ghana’s squad for the World Cup in North America.
Although the 24-year-old did not feature during the tournament, his inclusion among the Black Stars’ travelling party represented an important milestone in his international career.
Now back with Saint-Etienne, Boakye has picked up from where he left off last season, playing a key role in the club’s opening fixture of the new campaign.
His assist against Sochaux offered an early indication that he remains an important attacking option for the French side and will be hoping to build momentum as the season progresses.
For Boakye, the focus now shifts beyond club football. Ghana’s September Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers are on the horizon, providing another opportunity for the forward to push for a more prominent role with the Black Stars.
Having experienced the World Cup from the sidelines, Boakye will be keen to turn that disappointment into motivation.
A strong start to the domestic campaign could strengthen his case for more opportunities on the international stage.
For now, his message is simple: the new season has begun, and Boakye is ready to make his mark.
