Emmanuel Marfo hit a long range shot right in his half
Emmanuel Marfo produced a moment of magic to seal the victory for Aduana Stars in their Ghana Premier League week 6 clash against Hohoe United on Sunday, October 19, 2025, with a breathtaking goal from his own half that left fans in awe.
With Aduana leading 1–0 and Hohoe United pushing hard for a late equaliser, the 26-year-old forward stunned the stadium in stoppage time.
A loose ball rolled his way deep inside his own half, and with just one touch to steady himself, Marfo unleashed a spectacular looping strike that soared over the stranded goalkeeper and landed straight into the net.
The audacious effort, reminiscent of David Beckham’s famous halfway-line goal for Manchester United in 1996, sealed a 2–0 win for Aduana Stars and secured all three points.

The wonder strike was Marfo’s fourth goal of the campaign, cementing his status as the current top scorer in the Ghana Premier League.
Speaking after the match, Marfo explained that the goal was born out of instinct and confidence in his ability.
“When I first got the ball, I saw the goalkeeper was a bit forward, and when I was pushing the ball, I saw him going back. With my technique and ability, I had the confidence to score. So I just played the ball with good technique, and thank God it entered the net,” he said.
Aduana’s win keeps them firmly in the title race, and Marfo’s stunning strike is already being hailed as the best goal of the season.
