Ayunga nets brace to seal Scottish League Cup glory
Jonah Ayunga scored twice to inspire his club to victory in the Scottish League Cup final, played at Hampden Park, as his side lifted the trophy with a decisive win. The final, held this week, turned on Ayunga’s clinical finishing, rewarding his team’s attacking intent on the biggest domestic cup stage.
The forward opened the scoring before doubling the advantage later in the match, taking his tally to two goals on the night and putting the contest beyond reach. His movement and composure proved crucial as his side controlled key moments and capitalised on defensive errors.
“This is what finals are about — taking your chances,” Ayunga said after the game. “The team worked incredibly hard, and I’m proud to help deliver a trophy.” His manager hailed Ayunga as the difference-maker, saying he “turned the final on its head at the key moments,” as quoted by club channels. On the other side, the runners-up conceded they couldn’t live with his bursts in behind. “We didn’t handle him and he made us pay,” their coach admitted. The cup win rounds off a memorable run and feels like a career checkpoint for Ayunga — proof he’s no longer a supporting act in Scotland’s biggest games.
