Majeed Scores In Lorient"s Heavy Defeat

Black Stars forward Abdul Majeed Waris extended his scoring run in the French Ligue I with another composed finish in Lorient’s 5-1 defeat to Angers.

The prolific forward took his season’s tally to eleven with the consolation strike for the puzzled visitors at the Stade Jean Biun on Saturday night.

Angers took a commanding 3-0 lead before Waris pulled one back four minutes to recess but could do little to prevent the host from adding two more goals in the second half.

The former Trabzon forward headed into the fixture on the backdrop of a rich scoring form that includes five goals in his last five and ended up extending the scoring run with his eleventh of the campaign.

Majeed Waris, who returned to French football after an indifferent form in Turkey has been one of the key cogs for Sylvian Ripoli’s men in the top flight despite featuring in just 21 matches.

The attacker has been granted another routine call up for the Black Stars double header against Zimbabwe in the 2017 AFCON Qualifiers.
