Koomson, who plies his trade in Norway with SK Brann, was said to be contemplating on participating in the side's Eliteserien clash against Mjøndalen on Sunday after his girlfriend safely delivered a beautiful baby girl on Friday.
The 25-year-old however played full throttle for the Red and Whites but could not crown his day with a goal as Mjøndalen pipped them 1-0 at the Brann Stadion.

Koomson posted the good news on Instagram Sunday morning.
"God bless you for all the pain you have been through. I have extra respect for all the moms in the world. For what I saw today ... I can not even explain it. You're the toughest and bravest girl I've ever met
