Ghanaian forward David Atanga grabbed a brace for his side Oostende as they defeated Mechelen 2-1 in the Belgium Jupiler Pro League game on Sunday.

The former Ghana U-20 star was unplayable on the day as he secured all three points for his side in the match day 2 fixture at the Diaz Arena.

Atanga, 25, scored the opening goal in the 17th minute after breaking free from midfield he curled home into the far corner for his first goal of the season.

He added the second goal of the game in the 43rd minute after tapping home to seal victory for his side.

After the break, Mechelen attempted a feeble fight back but could only reduce the deficit to 2-1 with Thibault Peyre scoring the only goal for his side in the 75th minute.

The home side Oostende held onto the slender lead as they carried away all three points in the game.

Oostende play away to Charleroi in their next game on August 6, 2022.
