Amoah double SBV Vitesse came back from a goal down to record a 2-1 win at FC Groningen.

The Ghanaian international then struck the winner in the 68th minute.

RUSSIA
FC Saturn Moskovskaya Oblast, who welcomed goalkeeper Valery Chizhov back from a long-term injury, routed FC Uralan Elista 5-2. Uralan took the early lead through Serhiy Semochko's penalty but Saturn equalized just six minutes later, also from the penalty spot, as Serghey Rogaciov converted.

Saturn, however, then dominated proceedings, and Prince Amoako, Samir Muratovic and Rogaciov put the Ramenskoye side further in the lead. Vladimir Kazakov scored for Uralan to make it 4-2, but Alexey Medvedev had the final word as Saturn surged to victory.
