The former Hearts of Oak striker helped Zurich to victory after scoring twice in the second half to win at the Letzigrund.
Afriyie Barnieh scored in the 68th minute and added his second eight minutes later. With ten minutes remaining, Jonathan Okita sealed the victory.
The Black Meteors skipper, who had only scored in pre-season before today’s game, has now scored his first two goals in the Swiss Super League.
After the World Cup in Qatar, the Ghana Premier League winner joined Zurich.
After problems in the first team, Afriyie Barnieh appears to be regaining the form that drew the Swiss club to recruit him from Hearts of Oak.
It’s of Ghanaian interest that Barnie continues to deliver and keep a starting spot in his team.
Ghanaians are closely monitoring how he would take inspiration from these to goals to continue this fine form.
