FC Orenburg’s Fameyeh fires brace past Gogoua's FC Tambov

Joel Fameyah turned in two quickfire goals for FC Orenburg to pick up a 2-2 draw at home against FC Tambov in Saturday’s Russia Premier League game.

Having gone two goals down, Orenburg looked destined for their fifth consecutive defeat but it was the Ghana international who became the hero at Gazovik Stadium.

Cote d’ivoire centre-back Gogoua had given the visitors a first-half lead with Khasan Mamtov doubling his side’s advantage in the 68th minute.

With the game looking done and dusted, manager Vladimir Fedotov threw Fameyah into the fray after 70 minutes – and the 22-year-old did not disappoint after reducing the deficit four minutes later.
