Evan Ferguson celebrates with his Roma team-mates after scoring against German side Kaiserslautern
Evan Ferguson marked his first proper appearance for new club Roma by scoring the only goal of the game in a pre-season friendly win over Kaiserslautern in Germany.
The Irish striker hit the ground running with his new club by scoring four times in a training ground success over Serie D opposition earlier this week.
There was a dramatic contrast on Saturday afternoon as the 20-year-old was in a packed stadium, leading the line for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side against a side that is currently in the German second tier.
He made the most of the opportunity by capitalising on a first half goalkeeping error by Julian Krahl to win possession and slot the ball into the empty net.
Ferguson was replaced after an hour. His next game will be against Cannes on Thursday.
