Man-of-the-Week: Rio Ave winger Christian Atsu

Published on: 14 May 2012

Rio Ave winger Christian Atsu Twasam is GHANASoccernet.com's Man-of-the-Week.

Atsu, 20, is awarded for his sensational strike against Liga Sagres champions FC Porto- a club who farmed him out at the start of the season, in a 5-2 defeat.

The former Cheetah FC player claims the award from Ghana striker Ishmael Yartey who picked the prize last week following his brace for Al-Ain in the UAE Pro League.

The Rio Ave Best Player of the Season award winner made light work three Porto defenders before rounding up the goalkeeper to score his sixth goal of the campaign in the 66th minute.

GHANASoccernet.com salutes Atsu for his consistent form and his impressive display over the weekend.

Elsewhere, Ishmael Yartey was once against the center of attention as he set up the goal that handed the maximum points to FC Servette on their visit to Zurich.

Former Ghana U17 skipper Paul Addo excelled in a scrapper midfield role for Odd Grenland who thumped Hønefoss 4-1.

Striker Asamoah Gyan took his league tally to 20 after scoring the third for Al-Ain in their 3-1 win over Al Shabab.

Youngster Abdul Majeed Waris further enhanced his credibility as a goal scoring colossus when he grabbed his sixth goal of the season as Hacken lost 3-2 to champions Helsingborg.

USA-based Dominic Oduro also performed creditably.
