Ghanaian international midfielder Enock Adu Kofi has expressed delight at his Malmo FF's sterling performance in defeat against Scottish giants Celtic in the Uefa Champions League on Wednesday night.Â
The 24-year-old watched from the screens in Malmo as Sweden's Allsvenskan title-holders battled to earn the momentum to reach the group stages of the competition following their fight-from-behind to secure a great foothold going into the second-leg.
A double from Leigh Griffiths and Nir Bitton's header looked like giving Celtic a foothold in the group stage. Berget - brought to Celtic by Ronny Deila on loan last summer - had already struck one away goal to make it 2-1.
But his second, with virtually the last kick of the ball deep in stoppage time, gave the Swedes a huge boost. Celtic will probably have to avoid defeat in Sweden if they are to return to the group stage of European football's elite competition.
Malmo played in the group stages of the competition last season the prospects of repeating last season's feat thrills the former Ghana U17 midfielder as he expressed his joy about the performance at the Celtic Park in Scotland.
Fantastic ! wel done boys congrats to the team ! and thanks to our fans great job ??????

The former Liberty Professionals midfielder is expected to return to Age Hareide's squad for the reverse fixture as he will be available after serving the one-match suspension.
The Norwegian gaffer will welcome Adu into his squad as he anchors his central midfield with defensive shielding qualities and an attacking bite.
He picked a double booking in Malmo FF's 3-0 hammering of Austrian giants Red Bull Salzburg a fortnight ago.
