Razak Nuhu scores debut goal in Anorthosis win

Ghana defender Razak Nuhu scored his debut goal for Cypriot giants Anorthosis Famagusta as they secured a vital 3-2 away win over Nea Salamis on Monday night.

It was the two-time capped Black Stars left-back who opened the gates to continue their winning ways in a match-day eight 2014/15 Cypriot top division League fixture played at the Stadio RAFAEL GROUP Ammóchostos.

The former Manchester City prospect who joined the side in a three-year deal this summer opened the scoring in the 29th minute which went on to end the first half at 1-0.

12 minutes from recess, young attacker Andreas Markis doubled the lead for the visitors but Nea Salamis reduced the deficit in the 72nd minute courtesy 30-year-old Nigerian substitute Philip Onyemah – 2-1.

Anothosis extended their lead again through Yuriy Yakovenko in the 88th minute with Spanish midfielder Diego Leon finding his name on the scoresheet for Salamis in added time to end the game at 3-2 victory for Anorthosis.

Anorthosis have moved up the league ladder to 6th place on 12 points and will host Ethnikos Achna at the Stadio Antoni Papadopoulous on Saturday.
