Ghanaian International, Bernard Tekpetey scored his second goal for German Bundesliga side Fortuna Düsseldorf on Sunday as they thumped Ipswich Town 4-1 in a pre-season friendly.

The pacey winger looks to have settled into his new side and continues to show why he was brought to Fortuna for the upcoming season.

Having scored on his debut for the side last week, he found the back of the net again when the side posted an emphatic 4-1 victory over the English lower division side.

On the match day, Oliver Fink opened the scoring just three minutes into the match. A minute later though, James Norwood equalized for Ipswich to restore parity.

Erik Thommy restored the lead for the German Bundesliga side before adding another to complete his brace.

Ghana u-23 star Bernard Tekpetey completed the resounding victory for his new side with a fine strike on the 27th minute.

The player recently completed a two-year loan move from Schalke 04 and is expected to operate from the wings for Fortuna when the 2019/2020 season comes around.
