Ghana duo of Frank Opoku Acheampong and Dennis Appiah slumped to a heavy defeat in their preseason clash with Dutch side Feyenoord.

The pair featured for their Belgium side, Anderlecht, in a 3-1 loss for the ambitious visitors.

Frank Acheampong failed to add to his opening strike over the weekend away to a Dirk Kuyt-inspired Feyenoord, who proved too strong for Anderlecht to tame.

The former Liverpool attacking midfielder handed the Eredivisie side a 2-0 lead in a space of four minutes, before Krammer’s late strike added gloss to the scoreline.

Belgium international, Stephano Okaka, pulled one back for Anderlecht in the warm-up fixture.

Dennis Appiah, a French-born Ghanaian, joined Anderlecht from Caen and has been a regular for the PRO League side in their warm-up games so far.
