Ghanaian youngster Kelvin Ofori is on cloud nine after scoring on his competitive debut for  German side Fortuna Düsseldorf.

The 18-year-old was introduced in the second half to replace injured compatriot Nana Ampomah who had scored to cancel out Villingen's opener.

Ofori found the back of the net with a decisive goal in extra-time (100th minute)to give the Bundesliga side a 2-1 lead before Hennings scored 13 minutes later to ensure Fortuna Dusseldorf progressed to the next round.

The Kumasi-born said: "It is unbelievable that I could score immediately. I got the ball, had space and a little time, then I took the measure and the shot was fine.''

Ofori was signed at the beginning of the week from Ghanaian outfit Right to Dream Academy.
