Ghanaian starlet Bernard Tekpetey continues to highlight his precocity at Schalke as he struck the winner for the Royal Blues in a 2-1 pre-season triumph over Bologna on Thursday.
The 18-year-old winger steered home the winner for the Bundesliga side in a clash that saw Ghana midfielder Godfred Donsah in action.
It was an afternoon Chelsea loanee Baba Rahman earned his debut for the former Bundesliga champions. The 21-year-old lateral defender joined Schalke on a season-long loan on Tuesday with hopes of securing a permanent deal.
Schalke boss Weinzierl hurled praises on the Ghanaian in a post-match interview, raving about his qualities.
But the true star of the afternoon was the former Unistar Academy graduate. Tekpetey was introduced on 65 minutes. A beautiful blend of skill and perseverance saw him tilt the tie in Schalke's favour with a glorious finish.
Tekpetey nets his 3rd pre-season goal for Schalke and continues to justify his readiness for first team football in the Bundesliga in the upcoming season.
Schalke boss Weinzierl who has a knack for harness young talents promoted Tekpetey to the Schalke first team after seeing his talent with the club's second string side last term.
