Jerry Afriyie wasted no time in announcing his return to CD Lugo after leading a sensational comeback in the 2-2 draw against Gimnàstic, scoring and providing an assist.
The Black Satellites forward left camp in Egypt after two games at the Africa U20 Cup of Nations to rejoin Lugo, following an agreement between the club and the Ghana Football Association.
His return proved crucial and decisive, as he delivered a Man of the Match performance to help CD Lugo come from two goals down to earn a draw at the Nou Estadi Costa Daurada.
The 18-year-old was handed a starting role despite arriving barely 48 hours before the match.
Gimnàstic, playing at home, started the game better and opened the scoring in the 28th minute through Antoñín.
Things went from bad to worse for Lugo just before halftime when Joan Oriol doubled the advantage for the hosts.
However, Afriyie inspired his teammates to a comeback, setting up Lizancos with 23 minutes left on the clock.
The Ghana international then turned scorer, snatching a late equalizer in injury time for the visitors.
The U20 star has now scored three goals and provided two assists in eight league games for Lugo.
