Vision FC head coach, Nana Agyemang, has lauded midfielder Daniel Yemoh for his outstanding performance in their 3-2 victory over defending Ghana Premier League champions FC Samartex on Wednesday.Yemoh was the standout player of the match, scoring twice to inspire his side to a much-needed win.The victory ended Vision FC’s poor run of form, which included two consecutive draws and a 2-0 defeat to Bechem United.His first goal was a moment of brilliance, as he chipped the ball over the goalkeeper from outside the penalty area after excellent build-up play down the right flank.Speaking at the post-match press conference, coach Nana Agyemang expressed his admiration for Yemoh’s skill, particularly his composure in scoring the opening goal.“Yemoh’s first goal, for example, was incredible. That one-touch chip over the goalkeeper is not easy to execute. Most players would take an extra touch before shooting, but he did a fantastic job,” Agyemang stated.Vision FC now sit 13th in the league table and will face Aduana Stars on Sunday, April 6, in their next fixture.
