The 22-year-old lasted 15 minutes after replacing Jonathan Burkardt at the Opel Arena on Saturday

Former Ghana Olympic Team attacker Issah Abass played the last quarter of an hour for Mainz 05 who suffered yet another bitter episode after tasting defeat on Saturday against FC Koln in the German Bundesliga.

Abass, 22, stepped out of the dugout on the 16th minute as a replacement for German Jonathan Burkardt but failed to make any real impact on the game Koln pocketed all the three points despite ending the game with a man short.

23-year-old Elvis Rexhbecaj scored the game’s sole goal on the 55th minute leaving Mainz with yet another unwanted home run.

Mainz have suffered 8 losses out of their 11 games and have just a win. Meanwhile Abass has managed to play just once prior to his appearance on Saturday.

He has made just 3 Bundesliga appearances for Mainz since joining them from Slovenian outfit O. Ljubljana. He was farmed out to Dutch Eredivisie side FC Utrecht in the 2019/20 season where he managed 2 goals in 15 appearances.
