The Ghana international kept the post for 90 minutes and, also kept a clean sheet as his side triumphed 1-0 on the day against FC Sfintul Gheorghe.
The 2021/22 Moldovan Cup final was played at the 4,500 capacity Stadionul Orasenesc, Ribnita and, it was a tense game throughout the contest.
The first half ended goalless and with the game heading to extra-time and possible penalties, FC Sheriff Tiraspol's Albanian midfielder Reji Lushkja popped up to score a 90+5 minutes winner for the record Moldovan champions to hand them the win.
FC Sheriff Tiraspol has now won the League and Cup double in Moldova after winning the Divizia Nationala with matches to spur a couple of weeks ago.
