Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo put in a standout performance to help Bournemouth secure a thrilling penalty shootout victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup fifth round.
The 23-year-old forward was deservedly named Player of the Match for his impressive display.
Semenyo, who has been in fine form for Bournemouth this season, was a constant threat to the Wolves defense throughout the match.
His pace, skill, and work rate caused problems for the opposition, and he was instrumental in creating several scoring opportunities for his team.
Although the match ended 1-1 after extra time, with both teams failing to find the back of the net in the additional 30 minutes, Semenyo’s performance was a highlight of the encounter.
His energy and determination were evident throughout, and he was a key factor in Bournemouth’s ability to take the game to penalties.
In the end, it was Bournemouth who emerged victorious, winning the penalty shootout 5-4. Semenyo’s teammates were thrilled with the result, and the Ghanaian forward was mobbed by his colleagues as they celebrated their progression to the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Semenyo’s impressive display will undoubtedly catch the attention of Ghanaian national team coach, Otto Addo, as he prepares for the Black Stars’ upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar later this month.
The young forward’s stock continues to rise, and he will be eager to build on this performance in the coming weeks.
Bournemouth will face a tough test if they are to make the semi-finals after being handed a trip to in-form Manchester City in the next round.
