  "account": "Ghanaian forward Kwadwo Opoku Mahala made an immediate impact in his debut for Greek Super League side Panetolikos, scoring twice to secure a victory over Levadiakos. The 22-year-old joined the team during the summer transfer window from MLS club CF Montréal and was brought on as a substitute in the second half. Manager Giannis Anastasiou introduced Opoku to the pitch in place of Malian veteran Moussa Djenepo, who had been playing throughout the first hour of the match. With the scoreline goalless, Opoku seized his opportunity and netted the opening goal with 13 minutes left on the clock. Undeterred, he added a second to his tally in injury time, propelling Panetolikos to a triumphant 2-0 win. The performance marked Opoku's first appearance in European football after a successful run in Major League Soccer, where he won the MLS Cup with LAFC in 2022. His impressive start in Greece has generated optimism for a promising European career for the talented Ghanaian striker.",
