The 27-year-old was on Black and White’s scoresheet in their home loss to the Old Lady on Wednesday
Emmanuel Gyasi was on target but his goal was not enough to save Spezia from a 3-2 loss to Juventus in Italian Serie A on Wednesday.
The Ghanaian winger’s effort momentarily brought her club back to standard, but the old lady showed supremacy by scoring twice more to send the game out of Spezia’s reach on Matchday 5.
The strike doubles his league goal tally this season, having recorded his first a month ago against Cagliari.

Spezia is only one place above the relegation zone at 17th position, four places below Juve who unusually occupy 13th place in the table.
Visiting Juventus recorded the game’s first goal at the Stadio Alberto Picco as Moise Kean recovered from Adrien Rabiot’s knockdown to shoot just outside the box in the lower left corner.
Five minutes later, Gyasi fired back for Spezia, entering the box and hitting a shot that proved too strong for goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
Both teams entered the break on goals, but soon after their return the hosts struck again, this time as Giulio Maggiore set up Janis Antiste to bring the score to 2-1.
The visitors also fired back to equalize as well, Federico Chiesa firing a point blank shot into the net.
Dutch center-back Matthijs De Ligt then completed Juve’s comeback with a shot from inside the box to make it 3-2 in the 72nd minute.
Spezia is hoping for a return to victory on Matchday 6 when she hosts Inter Milan.
So far this quarter, Gyasi has started in all five of Black and White’s Serie A games, following on from last year when he played 37 games, starting in all but five.
His two goals so far this campaign are half of what he has scored during the 2019-20 term.
The 27-year-old, born in Italy to Ghanaian parents, is vying for a possible call-up to Ghana for their next 2022 World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe next month.
