Ghanaian forward Maxwell Boadu Acosty bagged a brace for HNK Rijeka in a mid-season friendly win over NK Krsko on Friday evening.

The Croatian side went into the game against Krsko with the hope of continuing from where they left off last week in the 3-1 win against Swizz second-tier side Servette.

After early dominance by Krsko, Rijeka too charge of the match and shot into the lead on the 20th minute mark through Bosnian midfielder Stjepan Loncar.

The White and Yellow lads extended their advantage eight minutes later after Maxwell Acosty superbly skipped past Krsko goalkeeper before blasting home into an empty net.

The Ghanaian doubled his tally in the game with another fantastically taken goal in the 55th minute to seal a comfortable 3-0 win against the Slovenian side.

The match was the last mid-season friendly game for Rijeka as they get back to serious business against Slaven Belupo on Wednesday, January 30.

Acosty scored once in 14 appearances for the side during the first half of the campaign.
