Ghana defender Harrison Afful was present in the stands at the Stade Chedly Zouiten to watch his club Esperance as the Blood and Gold defeated Menzel Bouzelfa 3-1 in the Tunisian Cup on Saturday.

Tunisia’s 2015 Africa Cup of Nations goal machine Ahmed Akaichi recorded a brace in the game with Mouez Aboud netting the other goal to ensure Esperance progressed in the Cup competition.

The former Asante Kotoko right-back returned to Tunis this week after failing to complete a move to Al Wahda FC during the January transfer window.

Esperance and Al Wahda FC have agreed to finalize the transfer of Afful before the 28-year-old’s contract with the Blood and Gold expires in the summer.
