Ghana striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom scored his ninth goal of the season for Serie B leaders Sassuolo who smoothly edged Padova 3-1 at the Stadio Comunale Euganeo on Saturday.
The 19-year-old who has been named in James Kwesi Appiah’s provisional 26-man squad for the 2013 AFCON, sealed the points for the Green and Blacks 13 minutes after the break.
Boakye pierced a powerful low drive home from inside the box to increase Sassuolo’s tally to 3-0.
His impressive scoring form in the Serie B is a justification for his inclusion in Ghana’s preliminary squad for January’s Nations Cup in South Africa.
The former Genoa starlet is showing a consistent scoring form after he bagged 15 goals last season.
The Juventus loanee was replaced after 86 minutes but compariot Yussif Raman Chibsah watched the entire game from the bench.
