Afful grabs crisp assist in Major League Soccer

Ghana international defender Harrison Afful provided a sweet assist to help his side split the points with top of the table Colorado Rapids in the Major League Soccer.

Afful, who is enjoying his first full season in the Major League, has established himself as one of the refined right backs in the United States.

He was at his best at the Crew Stadium with a crisp assist which his best pal Cedric Mabwati scored to give his side the lead.

The Black & Gold held their lead until the break, but at the start of the second 45, Colorado stepped up its game and intensity. On their first corner of the match in the 55th, Gashi curled in the set piece to find a waiting Doyle, who finished a header past Clark to equalise for the Western Conference side.

Afful’s performance has been heralded in the U.S media with the Ghanaian constantly being a top performer.
