Derrick Luckassen: Dutch-born Ghanaian scores wonderful free-kick for AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands
Dutch-born Ghanaian defensive Derrick Luckassen
grabbed his maiden senior career goal from a
wonderful free-kick as he scored in AZ Alkmaar’s
3-1 triumph over ADO Den Haag in the Eredivisie on
Saturday evening.

The 19-year-old central defender restored the lead
for Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion after the visitors
had equalised the host’s lead.

Luckassen, who was playing his 12th league game of
the season atoned for an own goal he scored two
weeks ago in AZ’s loss against Feyenoord.

ADO Den Haag came into the game after the goal
with Oleksandr Iakovenko causing danger, while
Danny Bakker sent a header just wide. Ten minutes
into the second half the visitors were level when
Wilson Eduardo took advantage of slack play from
AZ before beating Esteban.

However ADO Den Haag’s parity didn’t last long
as five minutes after equalising Derrick Luckassen
scored a lovely free kick to put AZ back in front,
and Gudelj sealed the win on 65 minutes, finishing
off a good pass from Aron Johannsson.

Luckassen is a younger brother of Slovan
Liberec’s Kevin Luckassen who has expressed his
interest in playing for Ghana as his parents are
from Ghana.
