Philip Yeboah scores as Hellas Verona beat Cremonese in Primavera

Ghanaian youngster Philip Yeboah scored for Hellas Verona in a 4-3 victory over Cremonese in Italy's Primavera division.

Cremonese took a two goal lead after 16 minutes in the first half, but Philip got Hellas Verona back into the game with a right footed shot from a cross into the net in 19th minute to make it 1-2.

The game grew to become an incredibly fierce battle, as four extra goals were produced. Both teams scored one each within three minutes to put the score at 2-3 in favour of the visitors.

Philip was robbed of a second goal after his shot deflected off Cremonese defender Alexandro Battini into the net in 50th minute. It was rather described as an own 0goal. The game ended 4-3 in favour of Hellas Verona.

The 17 year old has played majority of the games as centre forward and occasionally on the left wing. Philip has four goals and three assists in 11 matches for the U19 side.

Hellas Verona are second in the Primavera 2 league behind AC Milan.
