Gambian forward Baboucarr Steve Trawally has taken his goal tally for his new club in the Chinese Super League to 3 goals in 6 games.
The former Real de Banjul talisman, who has been in brilliant form since the return of the Chinese top tier league, put Gregorio Manzana’s Guizhou Hengfeng level in the injury time of the first-half on Saturday 14th, April, against Beijing Rehne, after falling behind to the opener from Zhu Baojie in the 14th minute, who pounced on Jamie Ayovi’s cross to fits the Beijing side ahead.
The Gambian striker Steve then made amends for his team’s early lapse by scoring a fine swing header from close range, from Fan Yunlong cross in the first minute of extra-time to go into the half-time break level.
The goal was the 23-year-old’s third since joining the club from Yanbian Funde, where he netted fifteen times last year to become Africa’s highest scorer in the Chinese Super League.
Steve nearly added to his tally almost immediately after the half-time break when his right footed shot from outside the box was blocked in the 49th minute. However his side failed to maintain the momentum from their goal before the break and fell further behind in the 74th minute to Jaimie Ayovi’s footed shot from the centre of the Guizhou box following a corner.
The game ended 2 – 1 in favour of the Beijing side. However on personal front Steve may enjoy a better season than last on this rate.
