Bassey scores winner in Fulham pre-season win

Posted : 06 August 2023
In a pre-season friendly clash, Nigerian talent Calvin Bassey emerged as the hero for Fulham, netting the decisive goal that secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over German side TSG Hoffenheim at the iconic Craven Cottage. 

Having recently made a move from Ajax, the 23-year-old showcased his potential as he made a significant impact in his second appearance for the Cottagers, delighting fans with his first goal for the club.

Prior to this friendly encounter, Bassey had already made his debut for Fulham in another friendly game against Chelsea, coming on as a substitute at halftime to replace Luc De Fougerolles. 

However, it was in the match against Hoffenheim where he truly sparkled, earning a spot in the starting lineup and delivering a standout performance.

Fulham kicked off the scoring with a goal from former Wolves striker Raul Gimenez in the second interval. 

However, their lead was short-lived, as Hoffenheim's Grischa Promel responded with a powerful header to level the score shortly after. 

With the game evenly poised, Bassey rose to the occasion in the 77th minute, leaping high to connect with an expertly delivered corner from Andreas Pereira and heading it firmly into the back of the net, sealing the victory for Fulham.

With the Premier League season on the horizon, Fulham's attention now shifts to their first game away at Everton. 

Marco Silva's side finished an impressive 10th in the league last season, and they aim to build on that success, with Bassey's promising performances adding to the anticipation of what the new campaign holds for the club. 

As fans eagerly await the start of the season, the young Nigerian defender's impact in pre-season serves as a positive sign for Fulham's prospects in the upcoming Premier League battle.
