Minneapolis: Kelvin Yeboah netted for the second game running in the new MLS season to inspire Minnesota United to victory against FC Cincinnati. The Ghanaian-Italian forward headed home after the hour mark as Minnesota edged Cincinnati in an epic encounter at the Allianz Field.
According to Ghana Web, following a barren first half, United were awarded a freekick right at the edge of the box. Tomas Chancalay struck the ball, which hit the upright, allowing Yeboah to head home the rebound. "To be honest I wanted to take the freekick because I scored from that position in the Leagues Cup game, but you know Joaquin Pareyra and Tomas have been practicing freekicks so I just said okay you guys can take it. But I guess it was a goal that was supposed to come to me," said Yeboah.
The nephew of Ghana legend Tony Yeboah started the season in fine form, netting a late equalizer in the opening game at Austin. He has now scored two goals in two games as Minnesota maintains their unbeaten start to the season. Kelvin Yeboah remains eligible to represent Ghana at senior level despite playing for Italy's youth national teams.
