Ghana defender Nicholas Opoku made his second appearance for Udinese as they beat UD Gorica by 2-0 in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday.

Opoku continued where he left off on his debut when the Zebras thrashed FVG Representative 10-0 a few days ago.

Lasagna’s brace handed the Serie A outfit their second successive victory as they continue to build momentum ahead of the forthcoming season.

The Ghanaian joined Udinese on Friday from Tunisian giants Club Africain on a four year deal.

He joins fellow Black Stars teammate Emmanuel Agyemang Badu in Udine after the latter rejoined the side after a loan deal in Turkey last season.
