Bernard Tekpetey scores as Schalke win in preseason

Ghana international forward Bernard Tekpetey’s first half strike was enough to seal victory for FC Schalke in their preseason game against Azerbaijani side Neftchi Baku.

The 19-year old forward who has struggled for game time since joining the German giants capped off a fantastic team move, showing great composure to slot in the only goal of the game in the 27th minute.

Tekpetey made just 3 appearances for the Royal Blues last season and will be hoping to stake a claim for more first team appearances this season.

He was part of the Black Stars squad that finished 4th in this year’s AFCON in Gabon.
