Ghana youth international David Atanga has reached 10 goals in the Austrian second-tier league after striking for Liefering in their 2-2 pulsating stalemate with Austria Lustenau on Friday evening.

The 19-year-old struck in the 10th minute at the Untersberg-Arena to cushion the lead for Liefering. The goal is a highlight of his impressive form for Liefering who are Red Bull Salzburg's second string side.

Atanga was hugely influential as Liefering won the ball at the half of the opponent and he then ran from the right side to the middle of the pitch and through between both central defenders to claim a pass, took a sublime touch before instinctively find the right side of the net.

The strike drew applauds from the home fans as well as the Liefering technical team who were highly impressed with the performance of the 2015 Ghana U20 FIFA World Cup star.

Ghana defender Isaac Vorsah returned from injury to play his second game of the season for Liefering, lasting 56 minutes for the home side.

Attacker Raphael Dwamena also started the game and lasted until the 79th minute. But goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi was not in the Liefering squad for the game.

Dwamena is tipped to quit Liefering at the end of the season.
