The return of the svenskan after a severe cruciate ligament injury a year ago.
Then Ali Youssef (21 years old) saved Haken outside his stadium against Milabi with a 2-1 goal.
– I was longing. It feels great, he told Discovery.
Ali Youssef had not played football for the Svenscans since he tore his cruciate ligament in a match against Aberdeen nearly a year ago.
Today, the 21-year-old Häcken talent, who was rewarded during the summer holidays, is finally feeling the hot air again. He jumped into the match with the quarter remaining away against Haken, finishing 1-1.
Then hit on the spot.
– I’m very happy and proud. It’s been tough months for me. I finally get out and play again, says Yousef to Discover.
Samuel Gustafson hit a delicate pass inside the penalty area and Youssef subtly nodded at the ball in an arc over goalkeeper Samuel Broden.
– At first I thought I was an intruder. It became completely silent when I scored a goal. No reactions, Yousef laughs.
Steam on top
The match was marked by a 2-1 scoreline and league leaders Haken scored their first win after the summer break.
They have the character to go all the way, says discovery expert Anders Anderson.
Yusef agrees.
– common sense. We play great football. He says he just keep going all the way.
The victory comes after the team amended its 0-1 delay since the first half. Liu Bingson scored the first goal for Hekken.
