Published: February 11, 2021

Akinkunmi Amoo clinched an equaliser to save his team Hammarby from defeat to Norrkoping in a pre-season friendly on Thursday afternoon.

The standout player of the Golden Eaglets squad to the 2019 U17 World Cup was picked in the starting lineup and lasted 82 minutes on the Tele2 Arena turf.

The visitors took the lead through Jonathan Levi in the 33rd minute, only for Amoo to restore parity a minute later with an unstoppable shot with his weaker right foot.

Amoo has started all the three friendly matches played by Hammarby this month, starting from the 3-3 draw against
Akropolis on February 3 before taking to the pitch in a 2-1 win vs IK Brage four days ago.

The Sidos Academy product inked a four-year contract with Hammarby in the summer of 2020.

In his debut season in Europe, he made seven appearances in all competitions for the Swedish top-flight club, scoring two goals in the Svenska Cupen.
