Ghanaian forward James Ampofo scored the decisive goal as Esbjerg fB came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over FC Fredericia in the Danish Betinia Liga on Saturday.

Ampofo struck in the 67th minute at Blue Water Arena to complete Esbjerg's comeback after the hosts had fallen behind early in the second half.

FC Fredericia took the lead in the 57th minute when Asbjørn Bøndergaard converted a penalty, putting pressure on the home side.

Esbjerg responded through substitute Marcus Hansen, who levelled the score in the 64th minute after coming off the bench.

Three minutes later, Ampofo capitalised on an error by Fredericia captain Frederik Rieper, winning possession before firing past goalkeeper Valdemar Birksø to give Esbjerg the lead.

The Ghanaian forward continued to threaten in the closing stages as Esbjerg held on to claim an important victory.

The result marked Esbjerg's first win under head coach Hjalte Bo Nørregaard, who took charge of the club in September.

Ampofo has now scored three goals and provided one assist in seven league appearances this season, underlining his importance to Esbjerg's attacking efforts.
