Ghanaian midfielder Ebenezer Ofori
Ghanaian midfielder Ebenezer Ofori played a key role for FK Zalgiris on Wednesday July 9, 2025, helping his side to defeat Hamrun Spartans F.C. 2-0 in the first leg of their clash in the first qualifying round for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
In the game played at the LFF Stadium in Vilnius, Ofori started for the home team and played the entire 90 minutes.
Operating in the midfield, the 30-year-old provided good cover for the defence of FK Zalgiris and combined well with the attackers when the team moved forward.
In the 85th minute, Ebenezer Ofori set up Comoros forward Kassim Hadji to score to seal a delightful 2-0 win for the hosts.
Before that equaliser, a goal by Liviu Antal earlier in the 59th minute had already set up Hamrun Spartans F.C. on their way to defeat.
The victory on Wednesday night gives Ebenezer Ofori and his teammates a good advantage heading into the second leg of the tie against the Maltese opponent next week.
