Williams Troost-Ekong Marks Return with Winning Goal in PAOK’s 3-2 Victory over Borac Banja Luka
Williams Troost-Ekong made a strong comeback from injury, scoring the decisive goal in PAOK’s 3-2 win against Borac Banja Luka in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League second round tie.
The centre-back’s goal, which came in the 51st minute, was crucial as it broke a 2-2 tie. This match was Troost-Ekong’s first competitive appearance since Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations final against Cote d’Ivoire, after a five-month injury layoff.
The second leg of the tie is scheduled for Wednesday, July 31, with the aggregate winner advancing to the third round of the competition.
