Union Berlin defender, Derrick Arthur Köhn has been widely praised on social media for his explosive performance in the Black Stars' 2-1 defeat to Germany in the international friendly game.
Two goals from Kai Havertz and Deniz Undav sealed a slim 2-1 victory for Germany, handing the Black Stars two successive defeats in the March international window.

His performance in his third appearance for the Black Stars drew widespread attention from Ghanaians, who flocked to social media to single him out for praise despite the team’s defeat.
Derrick Arthur Köhn was rated 7.1 for his performance against the four-time World Champions, the second highest rated Ghanaian player in the game after goalkeeper Benjamin Asare.
