Prince Ampem scores fourth AFC Champions League Elite goal for Shanghai Port

Ghanaian forward Prince Ampem continued his impressive form in Asia, scoring the opening goal for Shanghai Port in their AFC Champions League Elite fixture against Daejeon Hana Citizen. The match concluded in a 1-1 draw, with Ampem’s contribution proving pivotal in securing a point for the Chinese side. This latest strike marks the forward's fourth goal in the elite continental competition, highlighting his growing influence within the squad.

The deadlock was broken just four minutes into the second half after a closely contested first period. Ampem showed sharp instincts to capitalise on a defensive error by the South Korean opponents. Seizing on the mistake, he accurately found the back of the net to give Shanghai Port the lead. His ability to punish defensive lapses has been a hallmark of his recent performances, further establishing him as a potent threat in the AFC Champions League Elite.

Despite Ampem’s opener, Shanghai Port were unable to secure the victory as Daejeon Hana Citizen managed to find an equaliser later in the game. However, the result keeps the Chinese Super League side in a competitive position within the tournament’s league stage. For Ampem, maintaining such a high scoring rate in Asia’s most prestigious club competition is likely to attract further attention to his career trajectory as he continues to excel on the international stage.
