Ghanaian duo Abdul Aziz Yussif and Michael Helegbe propelled Lebanese side Tripoli Athletic Club to victory when they defeated Istiklol from Tajikistan in the Asian Confederations Cup on Tuesday.

Yussif drew the home team level in the 58th minute after Kablash had shot the victors in front 3 minutes earlier.

The former Kotoko striker took advantage of a loose ball in the 18-yard box to slot in from close range.

Walid Fatooh scored the match-winner for Tripoli with a thunderbolt strike three minutes from time to secure victory at the 4,000 capacity Tripoli Municipal Stadium.

Former Kotoko and Medeama midfielder Michael Helegbe played a crucial role for Tripoli and lasted the full 90 minutes. Fellow Ghanaian Emmanuel Ofori was also in action for Tripoli.
