Black stars attacker, Frank Opoku Acheampong, opened his preseason scoring account with a powerful finish in a comeback win for RSD Anderlecht over OH Leuveron.

The 22-year-old speedy winger registered his first strike of the preseason to power his side into a 1-4 comeback win in the friendly shake-ups.

Acheampong finished off an inviting ball from Frenchman, Trezeguet to give Anderlecht a 1-3 lead in the 62nd minute to cap an impressive start to his preseason program.

Esteban Casagolda handed OHL a first half lead before a second half onslaught pinned down the host.

A two-minute brace from Nathan Kabaselle overturned the scoreline to make Acheampong’s opener an insurance goal.

Trezeguet added gloss to the scoreline with the fourth goal on the stroke of the 90th minute to paint a true picture of their dominance in the second half of the game.

Frank Opoku Acheampong registered 10 odd goals across the 2015/16 Belgium PRO League season to confirm his burgeoning stature in the game.
