Ghanaian center back Nicholas Opoku excelled in Kasimpasa’s 3-1 defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir in the Turkish League on Saturday.
Opoku started and lasted the entire duration of what was his 14th consecutive game for Kasimpasa this season.
The 28 year-old’s brilliance was not limited to defense, as he helped his side with some quality passing in their build up.
By the end of the match, Opoku had made thirty-one accurate passes, providing a ticket out of Basaksehir’s intense pressing.
Last season, the center back played twenty-seven league matches for Kasimpasa in the Turkish top-flight, only missing their remaining matches through injuries or suspensions.
Opoku’s consistency improves Ghana’s options in central defense ahead of next year’s World Cup.
The former Amiens defender is already familiar with the national team, having made thirteen appearances for the Black Stars since his debut in 2017.
