Schalke 04 striker Bernard Tekpetey played his first match for Ghana on Tuesday in the pre-2017 Africa Cup of Nations friendly against Uzbek side Bunyodkor.

The former Unistar Academy player was handed a start and played for 79 minutes before being replaced by Ebenezer Assifuah.

Tekpetey made a huge impact in the match and was instrumental in the Ghana's second goal in the 2-0 win.

He hit the woodwork and substitute Frank Acheampong finished off for the second goal.

The 19-year-old was a shock inclusion in coach Avram Grant's final 23-man squad for the tournament.

Tekpetey managed just one Bundesliga match before the winter break.
