Ghanaian defender Phil Ofosu-Ayeh expects his struggling VFR Aalen to pick the pieces after he scored the match winner in their 2-1 win over promotion-chasing Eintracht Braunschweig.

The 23-year-old bagged the crucial match winner for Aalen to keep their survival alive.

The soon-to-be Ghanaian international was left thrilled with his goal and feels the win will restore confidence in the team.

“This win is crucial for us and we hope to build on it,” he told GHANAsoccernet.com

“Of course I’m delighted with my goal but the most important thing is for the team to win.

“We are anxious to avoid the drop and that’s what we’re working on.”

Braunschweig got the breakthrough early in the second period when Mirko Boland rifled home from 20 yards out, but the lead didn't last.

There was a slice of luck involved in both Aalen's goals as Gikiewicz’s clearance cannoned into the net off Collin Quaner following a poor back pass from Reichel, before Phil Ofosu-Ayeh collected Saulo Decarli’s half clearance and slammed into the net from close range to complete the turnaround with 21 minutes still to play.
