There were wins for Hoffenheim and St. Pauli, both secured by their Ghanaian stars in the German Bundesliga on Saturday.
Defender Isaac Vorsah scored the winner for Hoffenheim at Schalke with a header in the fourth minute, when goalkeeper Manuel Neuer failed to claim the ball from a corner.
And uncapped Ghana international, Charles Takyi broke his Bundesliga goal duck, scoring twice to help St. Pauli to a 3-0 home win over Cologne. The win helped his side climb out of the relegation playoff place, now occupied by Cologne.
He scored after being set up by Gerald Asamoah in the 30th, lifting the ball over goalkeeper Michael Rensing from 23 meters (yards) for his first goal of the season.
Takyi added his second five minutes later, the ball breaking kindly for him following an effort from Asamoah.
Florian Bruns added a penalty in the 76th.
“I’m happy with both my first Bundesliga goals,” Takyi said. “Three points and two goals. Simply super.”
