The former Rio Ave star started and played full throttle of the match, as his outfit succumbed to a humiliating 5-1 away defeat at the Wuliangye Sports Center Stadium.

Despite the loss, the enterprising Ghanaian attacker emerged as one of the standout performers for the visitors.

In the dyeing embers of the match, the host scored three goals to secure a resounding victory over their opponent in the week 4 clash.

Brazil international Felipe scored to extend the lead for the host in the 82^nd-minute before adding the fourth goal in the 85^th-minute mark.

Deep into stoppage time, Felipe bagged his third goal of the match to seal victory for Chengdu Rongcheng FC.

However, the Ghanaian attacker pulled one back for Qingdao West Coast in stoppage time but it was not enough for the side, who fell short to their opponent.

The 27-year-old forward, who joined the Chinese outfit in February 2026 has racked up four matches, scoring one goal and providing an assist.
