Ghana youth international Terry Yegbe scored twice as Elfsborg came from behind to beat BK Hacken in the Swedish top flight on Sunday.
The centre-back scored two goals in the second half of the game to claim all three points for his side on the road and move up the league table.
Yegbe was named in the starting lineup alongside countryman Michael Biadoo who lasted 56 minutes of the encounter.
The home side opened the scoring after 22 minutes through Simon Gustafson before Elfsborg equalised four minutes later. Hacken would then go on to restore their lead just before the halftime whistle, going into the break with a 2-1 lead.
Three minutes after the break, Yegbe drew Elfsborg level.
The Ghanaian defender struck from a rebound in the penalty box to make it 2-2 but they were on par for just 18 minutes as Hacken scored again.
Yegbe came to the rescue of Elfsborg again, this time, late in the game.

Just when the game seemed to be heading for a stalemate, Per Frick and Zeneli scored two late goals to give Elfsborg all three points.
With his brace on Sunday, Yegbe has now scored his first goals for the club since joining them from SJK in February 2024.
Yegbe has started eight of Elfsborg's 15 games in the Swedish Allsvenskan this season keeping two clean sheets in the period.
