Highly rated Nigerian midfielder cum forward Alhassan Ibrahim picked up the man of the match award for his efforts for CD Nacional in their 0-0 draw against CD Feirense.
Muazam as the lanky Nigerian is fondly called by close friends and associates bossed the game from a slightly deeper role in midfield with his abilities to read and intercept through passes catching the eyes.
He also combined it with his ability to hit long passes as he succeeded with five out of the eight long balls he attempted during the game, where he also won the highest amount of duels.
Although his efforts failed to gift his team all three points away from home, he picked up the best player of the pitch award in the game where he had to play through the pain barrier after a nasty cut, which saw him conclude the game with a head band.
Rated as one of the brightest prospects for Nigeria when he burst onto the scene for the Nigerian U17 team, It has taken him a while to make the transition to Europe and despite a fairly good time on loan to Austria Wien of Austria, he wasn’t offered a permanent deal at the end of his loan spell.
