Europe: Mix feelings for Ghanaian defender Jerome Opoku as he provided an assist and hobble off with injury in Accrington Stanley’s narrow defeat ahead from home

Defender Jerome Opoku enjoyed mix fortunes on Saturday afternoon after picking up a late injury his side’s 1-2 defeat away from home against Rochdale in the English league one

The defender provided the assist for his side’s only goal of the match but was later substituted with three minutes to end the match with an injury after receiving a heavy knock to his ankle

Opoku has been phenomenal for Accrington Stanley since joining the league one side on loan from Fulham

Rochdale took a one goal lead to the break through Ian Henderson with five minutes to end the first half of the match before grabbing his second of the match four minutes into the second half of the match

Opoku then grabbed his second assist of the campaign after teaming up perfectly for Joe Pritchard to pull a goal back in the 53rd minute of the contest

Accrington sits 19th on the log after 12 matches with 11 points. Next is a home clash Ipswich Town on Sunday, October 20
