Performance of Ghanaian players abroad

European football specialist, Reuben Obodai brings you first installment update of how Ghanaian players performed in abroad between Friday and Saturday.

It was not a vintage performance by Ghanaian players who played between Friday and Saturday but it could be best given as a pass mark.

Jordan Ayew is gradually winning over Crystal Palace fans with his new found form as he played full throttle for the first time in a Palace shirt and capped it with an assist in their win against Huddersfield.

David Atanga was easily the best Ghanaian player on the aforementioned days as he registered a hat-trick of assists for Greuther Furth in the win against Holstein Kiel.

Seth Paintsil has been knocking on the door to make his debut for new side Admira to show their fans stuff he is made of. He did not disappoint as he netted a goal but could do little as they suffered another defeat.

Edwin Gyasi lit up the Stadion B?lgarska Armija with his 14 seconds strike to aide CSKA to a convincing win over Cherno More.

Reuben Obodai will bring you comprehensive wrap up on Sunday.
