Waris scores twice; Nasiru one in Hacken's league win in Sweden

Published on: 31 August 2012

Ghana striker Abdul Majeed Waris bagged a brace while compatriot Nasiru Mohammed came off the bench to score again as Hacken claimed a 5-2 victory over Ã…tvidaberg on Friday.

Waris underlined his devastating scoring form by restoring Hacken's lead on 58 minutes after Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Abubakari cancelled out Makondele's opener.

His first time effort was blocked by the visitors' goalkeeper but he maintained his composure to coolly finish off.

Mohammed increased the tally for Hacken in the 64th minute with an audacious back heel effort which proved too strong for goalkeeper Gustav Jansson to deal with.

The former Ghana U17 captain had replaced Jonas Bjurstrom six minutes earlier.

Waris then set up Makondele for Hacken's fourth goal after running solo on the right flank.

He displayed great pace and irresistible physique to race clear from distance before finishing off.

The double has taken Waris' tally to 17 in the league and 19 in all competition this season.

Waris has been named in Ghana 24-man squad for the 2013 Nations Cup qualifier against Malawi at home on 8 September.

Three days later he is expected to feature against Liberia in a friendly to be played in Monrovia.
