Adiyiah's perseverance paid off in Lesotho drubbing
Posted On Sunday, 3rd June 2012
Dominic Adiyiah (18) celebrating his first goal with Derek Boateng
Ghana striker Dominic Adiyiah claims his irrepressible confidence ensured he grabbed a brace in Friday’s 7-0 drubbing of Lesotho in a 2104 World Cup qualifier.
The AC Milan-player who spent the last six months on loan at Arsenal Kyiv- ensured he announced his return to the Black Stars with a bang.
Adiyiah missed a lot of scoring chances before finally finding the back of the net in the 25th and 50th minutes respectively.
“You shouldn’t give up as a striker,” Adiyiah said.
“You have to keep the concentration high. You can miss numerous chances but you have to try to score. I missed the first time but tried and scored.”
Adiyiah has failed to meet expectations after winning the 2009 FIFA Under-20 World Cup Most Valuable Player and Top scorer awards.
He has played on loan at Reggina and Partizan Belgrade.
Watch some of the highlights of the goals scored by Ghana in their 7-0 win over Lesotho and interviews with Black Stars players.

I think its a timely reminder for AC Milan coach Max Allegri to have a second look at Adiyiah. He may well be the right strike partner for Ibrahamovich at Milan.
stupid remark
Massa because he scored against Lesotho you wants him to pair Ibrahimovic in Ac milan?.
Precisely. He may combine well with Ibrahamovic.
This is the beginning of great things for Adiyiah and i know you will go places,you have found your scoring boot.God help u.Go Ghana,go Black Stars.
Kindly wish this boy good luck. he is doing his best and it went well for the team so pls give him words of encouragement and may God help him get more goals for the team. Goodluck to Jordan Ayew as well and to all the team. May God give you a win against zambia
I’m Happy for Adiyah scoring a brace shame 2 the people who cursed him wen he was he can be a better than gyan with consistency he can get more goals jus needs 2 push him self to earn a regalar starting 4 club&country Acmilan should think of partnering up with ibra or let him play in the reserve for a while to gain that consistent form GOD BLESS him
