Ghanaian midfielder Augustine Boakye scored a last-minute winner to secure a 1-0 victory for Saint-Etienne over Nantes in Ligue 2 on Saturday.
Boakye found the net in the 90th minute at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, earning the hosts all three points after a tight contest.
Both teams struggled to create clear scoring opportunities in the early stages, with Saint-Etienne pushing forward in search of an opener while Nantes maintained a disciplined defensive shape.
With the game seemingly heading for a goalless draw, Boakye broke the deadlock in the closing minute, finishing off an assist from Mahmoud Jaber to spark celebrations among the home fans.
The Ghanaian midfielder has been in fine form this season, registering six goals and three assists in 10 league appearances. His contributions have made him an important figure in Saint-Etienne’s attacking play.
