Atsu Scores Opener In Rio Ave Win In Portugal

Ghanaian whizkid Christian Atsu Twasam opened the scoring for Rio Ave who humbled Victoria Setubal 3-0 in the Portuguese Liga Sagres on Sunday. The FC Porto loanee, 20, prodded home the opener on 26 minutes to put them on their way to the emphatic victory. The Ghanaian youngster set up Vitor Gomes and Yazalde in the 44th and 80th minutes as Carlos Brito�s side recorded their second straight win. Atsu fired home a stinging free kick from 35 yards to send the home support into ecstasy before taking matters into his own hands to set up goals for team-mates Gomes and Yazalde. The talented youngster has scored five times since joining Rio Ave from Porto. He told GHANAsoccernet.com he is delighted with his form. �I scored one and set up two and I believe it�s quiet encouraging. This is what I look for in my career.� He is likely to be recalled by Porto at the end of the season following his sterling performances.
