Samuel Tetteh scored on his 23rd birthday on Sunday as LASK Linz beat Altach 2-0 in their Austrian league opener. 

The Ghanaian striker opened the scoring on seven minutes before Joao Klauss' 79th minute goal seal the win.

The former WAFA star is in his third season for LASK Linz on loan from Red Bull Salzburg.

''It was a great feeling for me scoring on the first week plus on my birthday. I would say it's a special day for me,'' Tetteh told GHANASoccernet.com in an exclusive interview.

''Yeah, I had the feeling I was going to score. The plenitude of birthday wishes alone motivated me today, so yeah, I had a feeling I was going to score.''
