Asamoah Gyan Off the Mark for Shanghai SIPG in Debut Victory
Just days after his arrival on July 13, Asamoah Gyan is already making a strong impression with Shanghai SIPG. The Ghanaian striker scored his first goal for the Chinese Super League side in a 2-1 victory over Tianjin Teda.
The 29-year-old struck late in the game, capitalizing on a defensive error after a teammate overran the ball, calmly slotting it home to seal the win. Earlier in the first half, Gyan had already made his presence felt when he was brought down in the box, winning a penalty that Davi converted for the equalizer.
Gyan’s fast start suggests he is ready to silence critics and lead the line for his new club with confidence and efficiency.
