German-born Ghanaian winger Ilyas Ansah played a key role in SC Paderborn’s 2-0 away triumph over Ulm in Bundesliga 2, providing a crucial assist to seal the win.
The 20-year-old was introduced as a substitute in the 72nd minute of the match at Donaustadion on Saturday.
His impact was immediate, as he assisted the injury-time goal that confirmed Paderborn’s victory.
The first half saw both teams struggling to break the deadlock in a tightly contested affair.
However, as the match progressed, Paderborn’s determination paid off in the final ten minutes.
Germany international Marvin Mehlem opened the scoring in the 81st minute after a precise pass from Raphael Obermair.
In stoppage time, Ansah delivered a well-timed assist to Adriano Grimaldi, who slotted home to wrap up the win for the visitors.
