Enoch Owusu scores twice as St Gallen beat Vaduz

Enoch Owusu scored the first two professional goals of his career during St Gallen’s comeback against Vaduz. The substitute entered after seventy-two minutes and changed the match almost immediately.

His first touch produced the equaliser roughly thirty seconds after he joined the game. Owusu then scored again in the closing minutes and completed St Gallen’s second league win.

A substitute changed the score with one touch

St Gallen trailed when Owusu waited beside the pitch. The coaching staff introduced the young forward to add fresh movement near the penalty area.

He required almost no time to settle. The ball reached him during the first attack after his arrival, and he completed the chance cleanly.

That finish changed the energy of the match. Vaduz moved from protecting a lead to dealing with a level score and a confident substitute.

Owusu continued making direct runs behind the defence. His speed forced the home back line to retreat and created space for teammates.

St Gallen did not stop after equalising. The visitors kept enough attacking players forward while maintaining protection against a counterattack.

The decision produced another opening in the eighty-seventh minute. Owusu finished again and placed St Gallen ahead for the first time.

The goals completed a long wait at senior level

Owusu is twenty-one and was born in Italy to a family with Ghanaian roots. His football education included time in Inter’s youth system.

He also represented Italy at under-seventeen and under-eighteen level. Those appearances placed him in international youth football before his senior club breakthrough.

The move into professional football did not bring an immediate scoring record. Owusu entered the Vaduz match without a senior goal.

Both milestones arrived within fifteen minutes. The first removed St Gallen’s deficit, and the second delivered the victory.

The timing made his contribution different from a late goal in a settled match. Owusu changed both the direction and the final outcome.

His teammates also responded quickly to his movement. Passes reached him early, rather than asking the substitute to play away from goal.

The victory was St Gallen’s second from the first two Super League rounds. That start placed the club among the early leaders.

Vaduz had come close to protecting its advantage deep into the match. Owusu’s introduction removed that position in less than one minute.

St Gallen showed patience before the substitution. The visiting side remained within one goal and preserved enough structure for a late push.

Fresh legs then mattered against defenders who had worked through most of the contest. Owusu attacked the spaces that appeared during the final phase.

Two early victories do not define a complete season. They still provide points and confidence before the schedule becomes more demanding.

The result also gave the coaching staff a new attacking option. Owusu has now converted an opportunity that was limited in time but large in effect.

The final minutes belonged to a new scorer

Owusu’s first goal required an immediate reading of the attack. He entered the area at the correct moment and handled his first contact well.

His second demanded concentration after the match had become more open. Vaduz was trying to regain control and left room near its defence.

St Gallen supplied the pass, and Owusu completed the finish. The club moved from defeat to victory during his short spell on the pitch.

The forward left with two goals and his first senior match-winning contribution. Both finishes came after he entered as a substitute.

Owusu entered after seventy-two minutes and became the decisive player. His two finishes completed a confirmed senior breakthrough.

St Gallen collected three points, while Owusu supplied both decisive goals. The sequence made him the central figure of the round in Switzerland.

Owusu needed only a short appearance to change his senior record

Owusu began the match among the substitutes and entered after seventy-two minutes. St Gallen still required an equaliser at that stage.

The ball reached him almost immediately. His first touch became his first senior goal and removed Vaduz’s advantage.

That finish changed the atmosphere without ending the contest. St Gallen continued to move players forward during the closing period.

Owusu then found space for another finish. The second goal completed the comeback and became the first winning goal of his professional career.

Before this match, Owusu had not scored a senior goal. He then scored twice during the final eighteen minutes and decided the game.

The result also protected St Gallen’s perfect league opening. Two matches produced two wins before the next round.

Vaduz had controlled the score for much of the evening. One substitution changed that position with two direct actions near goal.
