Youngsters Caleb Yirenkyi and Stephen Acquah star in Nordsjaelland win over Randers

Ghanaian duo Caleb Yirenkyi and Stephen Acquah were heavily involved in FC Nordsjaelland’s league win over Randers on Sunday, April 13.

Yirenkyi scored while Acquah came off the bench to seal the victory in the 5-2 home win in the Championship round.

Yirenkyi was handed his eighth start in 11 games for Nordsjaelland, a reward for his consistent performances since coming into the team.

Acquah, 18, was only making his second appearance for the club since being promoted to the first team, having gone through the ranks since arriving from the Right to Dream academy in Ghana.

Yirenkyi scored the fourth goal for Nordsjaelland after Benjamin Nygren had scored a first-half hat-trick to turn around the tie after the visitors had scored after just 17 minutes.

The midfielder scored from a rebound after Nygren’s shot from outside the box to make it 4-1 before going off two minutes later.

Randers scored again in the 76th minute, but Nordsjaelland’s three-goal lead was restored a minute later with Acquah scoring to make it 5-2.

For Acquah, it was his first goal involvement for the club this season as they sealed all three points at the Right to Dream Park.

The two Ghanaians will be hoping to continue their development in subsequent games.
