Ghanaian forward Ahmed Said grabbed a consolation goal for Hadjuk Split in their 2-1 loss against Steaua Bucuresti in the penultimate qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.

Hadjuk Split were hoping to record a positive result when they travelled to Romania to square off against Steaua Bucuresti after drawing blank in the first leg last week.

However, following a cagey first half, they were pegged back by Harlem-Eddy Gnohere's 55th minute penalty.

Split believed they have sailed through when Ahmed Said planted his bullet header into the far left corner.

But their joy was cut short after Harlem-Eddy Gnohere headed into an empty net at the death of the match to hand his side a 2-1 win.

Said has been heavily linked with a move to Italian Serie B side Livorno, but it remains to be seen whether the 25-year-old will make the switch as the Italian transfer window closes on Friday (today) at 7pm.
