Ghana forward Elvis Amoh scored for Hartford United on Saturday in the USL Championship against Loudoun United FC at the Trinity Health Stadium.
It is the 31-year-old's third goal in 6 games in the second tier competition in the United States.
The encounter took an exciting turn when Juan Torres broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute, securing the first goal for the Green and Blue. As the game progressed, Kyle Edwards started causing trouble for the Loudoun defense and ultimately drew a penalty kick in the 65th minute for Hartford.
In a remarkable play, Niall Logue launched a long ball from midfield into the Loudoun box, with Edwards cleverly maneuvering his way behind the opposition's back line. However, Edwards was tripped by the charging Hugo Fauroux, resulting in a penalty.
Hartford's Head Coach, Tab Ramos, called upon Elvis Amoh to take the penalty, and the 31-year-old forward expertly converted it by firing straight down the middle. It was Amoh's first appearance since recovering from an injury sustained against Charleston on April 8th, making it an encouraging return for one of Hartford's top strikers.
Buoyed by Amoh's successful penalty, the hosts sealed the victory, bringing an end to their three-game losing streak.
