German-born Ghanaian winger Christopher Braun scored a crucial goal in Rapid Bucuresti's 1-1 draw against UTA Arad in the Romanian Superliga on Saturday afternoon.
The game, held at the Arena Francisc Neuman, saw Braun start and play the full 90 minutes, contributing significantly to Rapid's offensive efforts.
In the 24th minute, Rapid Bucuresti executed a well-coordinated attack on the left side. Andrei Borza's cross into the box found Albion Rrahmani, whose attempt was not cleared by UTA Arad's defense.
Seizing the opportunity, Braun pounced on the loose ball and scored from six meters out, leaving goalkeeper Robert Popa with no chance.
However, UTA Arad managed to equalize in the 60th minute. Substitute George Câmpanu capitalized on a well-executed attack, finding himself in an excellent position to slot the ball home with his left foot, leveling the score.
Despite the draw, Rapid Bucuresti's performance showcased their resilience and offensive capabilities. The team will look to build on this result as they prepare to face CFR Cluj in their next league match.
