Black Stars forward, Felix Afena-Gyan claimed the first major title of his career as his side, AS Roma won the UEFA Europa Conference League crown in Tirana on Wednesday night.

Nicolò Zaniolo’s 32nd-minute strike was the difference for the Italian side as they held on to beat Dutch side, Feyenoord 1-0 in the final.

Teenager Afena-Gyan has had a special year-and-a-half, signing a senior deal with Jose Mourinho’s team, making his debut, scoring his first two goals for the club and getting his first national team call-up in the period.

The striker has played three matches in the Conference League and was on the bench for the final.

His teammates completed the task, however, and the 19-year-old was quick to join in the celebrations, even doing a little dance with Tammy Abraham.

With this victory, Jose Mourinho became the first manager to win the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.
