Ghanaian forward Prince Kwabena Adu delivered when it mattered most, scoring the only goal of the match as FC Viktoria Plzeň edged past FC Baník Ostrava with a hard-fought 1-0 victory in Round 27 of the Czech First League.
The 22-year-old attacker once again underlined his growing importance to Viktoria Plzen’s campaign, producing a decisive moment in the 35th minute to separate the two sides in a tightly contested encounter. Adu showed sharp movement and composure inside the penalty area as he calmly converted a well-worked assist from Amar Memić, handing the visitors a precious lead on the road.
His goal ultimately proved enough to secure all three points for Plzen in a match where discipline, defensive organization, and efficiency in attack made the difference. Adu remained a constant threat throughout his time on the pitch, troubling Banik Ostrava’s backline with his movement, pace, and intelligent positioning in the final third.
After an energetic and influential display, the Ghanaian striker was substituted in the 72nd minute, with Mohamed Touré introduced as Plzen looked to preserve their narrow advantage. Adu’s contribution earned him an impressive match rating of 7.6, reflecting his impact on the contest and his overall quality in leading the line.
The goal adds to what has been a productive campaign for the talented forward. Adu has now featured in 25 league matches during the 2025/26 season, registering seven goals and one assist — numbers that continue to highlight his steady development and importance to the Czech outfit.
His latest strike also came at a vital moment for Viktoria Plzen, who entered the fixture desperate to rediscover their scoring touch after back-to-back disappointing results — a goalless draw against SK Slavia Prague and a narrow defeat to FK Pardubice.
With the win, Viktoria Plzen strengthen their hold on third place with 53 points, keeping their ambitions of securing European football firmly on course. For Prince Kwabena Adu, his continued fine form is not only boosting his club’s fortunes but also enhancing his growing reputation as one of Ghana’s promising attacking talents abroad.
