The ex-Atalanta player was all over in the game, causing trouble for the defence of Macabbi Haifa.

Despite helping his side get the opener, the visitors pulled level through Alon Turgeman at the stroke of half time.

However, Beitar Jerusalem restored their lead after the break when Adir Tamir scored in the 58th minute.

Boakye-Yiadom was kept in the game until the 89th minute when he was replaced by Roei Herman.

The free scoring Ghanaian has netted twice in seven games in the Israeli topflight league.

He is expected to play a key role in the Jerusalem-based club's campaign this season.

Boakye-Yiadom was a member of the Ghana U-20 team at the FIFA World Cup in 2013, helping the Black Satellites to Bronze medal. He also played for the Black Stars at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
