Ghanaian youngster Felix Afena-Gyan scored his goal of the season as US Cremonese advanced to the next round of the 2023/24 Coppa Italia.

Afena-Gyan headed home the equalizer for his side after they conceded very early in the game against Crotone on Monday evening.

Crotone scored in the seventh minute of the game but the Ghanaian leveled proceedings for the home side before the break with a superb header.

Afena-Gyan went on to play 14 minutes of the second half before being taken off in the 59th minute with Cremonese going on to win 3-1 in extra-time.

The goal against Crotone means Afena-Gyan has now scored three goals in the cup competition in the last two seasons for Cremonese.

The 20-year-old is expected to be in action when the Serie B begins this weekend with his side facing Catanzaro in their first game.
