Ghana youth striker Kwame Amponsah-Karikari scored the winner for AIK Stockholm in their 2-1 victory over Hacken in the Sweden Allsvenskan on Sunday.

The 19-year-old doubled the tally for AIK after Martin Kayongo-Mutumba had opened the scoring on the 14th minute.

Liberian international Dioh Williams halved the deficit for Hacken in injury time of the first half.

Karikari masterfully shot the ball between the legs of Patrik Christoffer, the Hacken goalkeeper to make it 2-0.

The victory has helped AIK to move to second place with one match to end the season.

He was a member of the Ghana Under-20 side that failed to impress to progress from the Group stage of the 2011 African Youth Championship in South Africa.
