CAF Confed Cup: AshantiGold assistant coach hails hat-trick hero Shafiu Mumuni

AshantiGold assistant coach Yakubu Sharif Mambo has praised striker Shafiu Mumuni following his hat-trick in the CAF Confederation Cup on Saturday.

Mumuni scored a sensational eight-minute hat-trick as the Miners thumped Akonangui FC 3-0 to progress to the second qualifying round of the competition.

The Miners won the tie 4-1 on aggregate and will now face last year finalist RS Berkane
