Ghanaians in Europe December 14-17/2001

Mohammed Gargo played 90 minutes as the new Udinese coach Giampiero Ventura tasted defeat in his first Serie A match charge as Venezia finally won their first game of the season.

Augustine Ahinful hit a first-half hat-trick as improving Ankaragucu won a rollercoaster of a game in Denizli.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic saved Ajax's blushes in a 1-1 draw with lowly Roda JC.

Ajax, trying to stay in second spot in the Eerdivisie, fell behind to a 22nd minute penalty by Greek striker Yiannis Anastasiou. But stuttering Ajax needed until the 68th minute to draw level. A fierce shot from Ghanaian defender Amadou Yakubu was parried by Roda goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac, but Ibrahimovic was on hand to knock in the rebound from five yards.
