KP Boateng scores stunning goal

Early in the match, Boateng brought fans to their feet with a spectacular goal, as cited by Tribuna.

Positioned just outside the penalty area, he launched a leaping scissors kick, sending the ball rifling into the net to give Ronaldinho XI the lead.

Boateng and Ronaldinho's friendship dates back to their shared days at AC Milan from 2010 to 2011, a stint that clearly fostered a strong bond.

The former Black Stars midfielder last suited up professionally for Hertha Berlin, the club where his football journey began, before announcing his retirement at 35.

On his post-playing plans, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano disclosed last year that Boateng would step into coaching in 2024, joining the Baller League—an innovative project led by German defender Mats Hummels, Boateng’s former teammate from their youth days in Germany.
