Ghana Black Stars defender Tariq Lamptey played 90 minutes and got a yellow card for his club Brighton & Hove Albion FC in their 4-0 away loss to AS Roma in the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 first-leg tie.
The Ghanaian played a crucial role in the match, but De Zerbi’s side was unable to find a late goal to reduce the deficit.
Lamptey has been dormant for both the club and the national team for some time now, and he is now picking up the rhythm or his best form.
Due to the injury he sustained, he did not make the Blackstars squad for the AFCON. He was rated 5.5.
Danny Welbeck wasted Brighton’s best chance of the match in the second half, swatting a close-range attempt over the crossbar, and Roma quickly wrapped up the victory with two goals.
Among the AS Roma’s goal scorers at Stadio Olimpico are Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala. Brighton has it all to do in the second leg at the Amex on March 14.
