Bright Addae was named Man of the Match as his side Ascoli drew 0-0 at home with Latina who fielded compatriots Richmond Boakye and Maxwell Boadu Acosty on Saturday.
The ex-Ghana youth international was a watershed in midfield for the home side and lasted the entire duration.
"I was determined to play above my limit because if we had lost, we would have been in trouble and I thank God I did just that,” Addae told GHANASoccernet.com
"And also when you have your countrymen playing against you, it’s always a challenge and a motivation to outshine them so I managed to beat Boakye and Acosty.”
Striker Boakye was making his full debut for Latina and lasted 80 minutes on the pitch while midfielder Acosty was substituted after 58 minutes.
