Ghanaian midfielder Majeed Ashimeru honored the memory of late Dancehall artiste Rudeboy Ranking by scoring the winning goal for Anderlecht against Royal Antwerp.<\/p>\n
Rudeboy Ranking passed away in April 2023 after a brief illness. Both Ashimeru and Rudeboy grew up in Nima.<\/p>\n
To commemorate the one-year anniversary of his friend\u2019s passing, the Black Stars midfielder dedicated his crucial goal and shared a heartfelt message on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cGame ain\u2019t based on sympathy! Rudeboy Ranking you gone but never forgotten, your legacy lives on,\u201d Ashimeru wrote on his Instagram page.<\/p>\n
Ashimeru, who came off the bench in the 74th minute, needed only five minutes to find the back of the net.<\/p>\n
After missing most of last season due to injury, Ashimeru is off to a strong start this campaign, contributing to back-to-back victories for Anderlecht.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old played in the league opener against STVV last week and made a significant impact as a second-half substitute on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Anderlecht initially took the lead with an own goal by Senne Lammens, but Royal Antwerp equalized later in the first half through former Tottenham defender Tobi Alderweireld.<\/p>\n
Ashimeru then secured the win with a decisive goal ten minutes before the end of the match.<\/p>\n
