Kwadwo Asamoah makes debut for Cagliari

Ghana’s Kwadwo Asamoah made his debut for his new club, Cagliari, during their Serie A league game against Crotone on Sunday.

The 31-year-old left-back came off the bench in the 77^th minute to replace Joao Pedro after his team had been reduced to 10 men after Charalampos Lykogiannis was sent off in the 75^th minute.

Asamoah’s 13 minutes on the pitch proved vital as it gave manager, Leonado Simplici an opportunity to fairly access him since joining the club on a free transfer during the transfer window.

Cagliari open the scoring in the 56^th minute through Leonardo Pavoletti before Joao Pedro added the second from the spot four minutes later to earn them a 2-0 victory.

Despite the win Cagliari are 18^th position on the league table with 18 points and would be hoping Asamoah could assist them escape relegation.
