Ghana forward Joseph Esso marks MC Algiers debut

Ghana forward Joseph Esso played his first match for MC Algiers on Tuesday night to help the side picked a victory in the Algerian League 1 on home turf.

Esso, who joined the Algerian outfit from Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC last month was handed a starting berth in their game against USM Bel Abbes, a game his outfit won 2-1 in matchday 20 of the league.

Mouad Haddad and Nabil Lamara scored for the hosts before Mouloud Metref pulled one back.

The 24-year-old scored 11 goals in 18 games for the Still Believe lads before departing for greener pastrures.

His outstanding performance also earned him a call up into the national team for the 2021 AFCON qualifiers in March but was an unused substitute in the doubleheader against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe.
