Nicholas Opoku receives MOTM award in Confed Cup win over MC Alger

Defender Nicholas Opoku has received his Man of the Match award after helping Club Africain to beat MC Alger 2-0 at home on Sunday to reach the semi-final stage of the CAF Confederation League.

The centre back was a pillar at the back as the Tunisian side advanced 2-1 on aggregate. Opoku was making his third start for the CA since his move from Ghana Premier League side Berekum Chelsea.

He has been named in Ghana's 26-man squad for the penultimate 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Uganda on 7 October in Kampala.
