Faris Pemi Moumbagna, recently included in Cameroon's list of players to face Mauritius Island and Libya, has celebrated his call-up with a brace against Besiktas in the UEFA Conference League.
The 23-year-old, who has been in sensational form since signing for Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt, opened the scoring in the 38th minute against Vincent Aboubakar's Besiktas.
Faris doubled his side's lead with a well-taken goal after an excellent pass from Amahl Pellegrino four minutes into the second half before giving way in the 85th minute as his teammates saw out a crucial 2-1 win in matchday 4 of the Europa Conference league.
The win takes the Norwegian League leaders to second in Group D with two games left.
Bodo/Glimt will be confident of making it out of the group, needing just two points from their remaining games.
Faris Moumbagna continues his red-hot form and will be licking his lips with crucial games on the horizon. It was his 3rd goal in 4 UEFA Conference League games this season.
