Edward Opoku Excited After Making His MLS Debut

Columbus Crew forward Edward Opoku has expressed delight in making his MLS debut in a dramatic comeback victory against Orlando City on Saturday.

The 21-year-old came on in the 68th minute to replace Niko Hansen when the club was trailing 2-1 and made a huge impact as the gold and blacks overturned the result to win 3-2.

The former Virginia Cavaliers player was full of joy after the game, posting on Social Media his excitement on making his Major League Soccer debut.

The 21-year-old previously appeared in a 2018 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round match against the Chicago Fire (June 6). He also featured in an international friendly against Costa Rican side Deportivo Saprissa (July 3).
