Ghanaian Players Abroad – 16-18 May, 2014: Gyan scores to win Cup final; Accam loses Cup final; Assifuah brace; Muntari, Andre, Otoo, Boakye Yiadom on target

Asamoah Gyan, Presidents CupBy Ing. George-Patrick Bediaku (Follow George-Patrick on Twitter @gpbediaku)

 

The major leagues have ended the seasons. And Ghanaian players were involved, either in the winning or losing situations.

Asamoah Gyan, who can’t seem to stop scoring, grabbed the winning goal as Al Ain won the UAE President’s Cup. That is the fourth title he has won in three years at the club. He scored his 6th goal in 5 games of the competition. And in 42 games in all competitions this season, Gyan has scored 45 goals. Wow!

Fatau Dauda may not have played but Orlando Pirates won the Nedbank Cup, so yes, he has won a title in his debut season in South Africa.

Someone who will not be as happy is David Accam whose Helsingborg lost 0-1 to Elfsborg in the Svenska Cupen final in Sweden, especially after he missed a couple of good chances to score.

Jordan Ayew is also among the list of unhappy ones as Sochaux were relegated on the final day. But it is Jonathan Mensah who will be happy as Evian TG survived the drop at the expense of Sochaux. Andre Ayew also ended on a high note as his goal secured a win for Marseille on the last day. Muntari’s rocket of a goal helped AC Milan to a win.

Mahatma Otoo has found his scoring boots, Richmond Boakye Yiadom scored a consolation goal, Sadat Bukari scored in Romania and Ebenezer Assifuah-Inkoom grabbed a brace.
