Ghanaian defender Nana Akwasi Asare hopes of lifting the Union of European Football Association (UEFA) Champions league look set to end in tatters after a home reverse in the knock out stages of the tournament.
The 30 year old centre back lasted the full throttle in a five goal thriller but could end his European campaign if they fail to avenge the defeat in Gent.
VFL Wolsburg inflicted a painful 2-3 home defeat on Gent to put themselves in a pole position ahead of the second leg in at the Wolvaken Arena.
Manager Hein Vanhaez handed Nana Asare his 32nd appearance of the season in a highly involving season for the veteran centre back.
The former Utrecht utility defender however could not prevent the German side from putting themselve into a commanding 0-3 lead thanks to a brace from Julian Draxler and thunder bolt from Max Krussa before the hour mark.
Gent pulled one back through Svens Kums before a late strike from Coulibally toned down the gravity of the work for the home side ahead of the trip to journey.
Gent will have to outscore the Wolves by two clear goals to seal a place in the last eight of Europe’s top club competition.
