Ghanaian youngster Prince Appiah Amoah produced a sensational display on Monday evening, scoring a remarkable first-half hat-trick to inspire FK Metta to a commanding 9-0 victory over FK Tukums in the Latvian Pirma Liga.
The 19-year-old winger was the standout performer as Metta overwhelmed their opponents, with his clinical finishing and electric pace proving too much for the visitors to handle.
Amoah, who previously featured for MSK Zilina Africa, opened the scoring in the seventh minute after expertly converting a well-crafted assist from Saleh.
The Ghanaian continued to torment the Tukums defence with his direct running, excellent movement and dangerous deliveries from the flanks.
He doubled Metta’s advantage in the 25th minute, finishing off another impressive attacking move before completing his hat-trick later in the first half to hand the hosts a commanding 6-0 lead at the break.
The ambidextrous attacker was at his devastating best throughout the opening 45 minutes, constantly stretching the opposition defence with his blistering pace and technical quality.
Metta maintained their dominance after the interval, adding three more goals to wrap up an emphatic 9-0 triumph.
It was Amoah’s first hat-trick of the 2026 Latvian Liga campaign and another significant milestone in what has been an impressive season for the talented Ghanaian.
The convincing victory lifted Metta to the top of the league standings as they strengthened their bid for the championship title.
Amoah’s outstanding contribution also improved his individual statistics to six goals and two assists in 12 league appearances this season, underlining his growing influence in the Latvian top flight.
The teenager’s excellent form will undoubtedly be encouraging for both Metta and Ghanaian football followers, as he continues to establish himself as one of the country’s exciting young talents making an impact in European football.
