Ghana midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana scores to seal 2-1 victory for Atalanta against AS Roma in Serie A

Ghana international Ibrahim Sulemana scored the winning goal for Atalanta on Monday night when the team brushed aside AS Roma with a 2-1 victory in the Italian Serie A.

The Black Stars midfielder missed out on a starting role for the Round 36 encounter but came on in the 68^th minute to replace midfielder Mario Pasalic.

Less than 10 minutes after coming on, Ibrahim Sulemana showcased his ability to score with a long-range strike.

He pounced on a loose ball just outside the AS Roma area and fired a first-time shot that went into the back of the net.

Before his equaliser, Nigerian sensation Ademola Lookman had scored to give Atalanta the lead in the 9^th minute of the first half.

However, a Bryan Cristante strike in the 32^nd minute restored parity for AS Roma before the break.

Thanks to Ibrahim Sulemana’s first goal for Atalanta, the club secured a crucial 2-1 win that guaranteed the side qualification to participate in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
