Ghanaian midfielder Benjamin Akoto Asamoah found the back of the net to rescue a point for Doxa Katokopia in their 1-1 draw against Olympiakos Nicosia on Sunday, September 1, 2019.

The two clubs honoured a date on match week two of the ongoing 2019/2020 Cypriot First Division season in hopes of amassing all three points at the end of the day.

Following a well-matched display throughout 90 minutes of football action, each side has to settle for a draw, going home with a point each to show for their efforts.

Ghana midfielder Benjamin Akoto Asamoah scored to give Doxa Katokopia the lead in as early as the 7th minute. The former Atletico Madrid man received a throw-in on the edge of the 18-yard box of the opponent and went on a solo run before firing an unstoppable shot into the back of the net.

The home side kept their shape and restored parity on the 54th minute through Georgios Economides.

The match eventually ended 1-1 at the Makario Stadium with Benjamin Akoto playing the 86 minutes before being replaced by Vasilios Papafotis.
