Ghanaian midfielder Uriah Asante was in action for Bahraini side Al Riffa as they recorded a 2-1 win over Qalali in the Kings Cup on Friday.

The ex-Hearts of Oak star was replaced after the first half as he continues to improve on his fitness since joining this week.

The highly-rated Ghanaian was playing his second game for the first time after featuring in a friendly exercise against lower side Malkiya on Monday.

The former Ghana Under-23 impressive enforcer is expected to play a key role for the side in their title challenge this term.
