Ghana international Daniel Afriyie Barnieh delivered a top-class performance to help FC Aarau secure victory over Xamax in the Swiss Challenge League.

The former Hearts of Oak forward started and played full throttle of the match as his outfit cruised to a 2-0 win over their opponent on Saturday.

FC Aarau scored on either side of the pitch to snatch victory over Xamax at the Stadion Brügglifeld.

Barnieh, who joined the Swiss lower-tier club this summer opened the scoring for the host after just 14 minutes into the match as they went to the halftime break with the advantage.
