In Norway, Fallou Fall won the National Cup with Fredrikstad while in Belgium, Moussa Ndiaye, Ilay Camara, Pape Demba Diop and Pape Moussa Fall continue to impress. Here is our Team Of The Weekarranged in 3-5-2.
BINGOUROU KAMARA worked
Despite Pau FC’s defeat in Rodez last Friday (1-0), the 28-year-old Senegalese goalkeeper and captain of the Palois has nothing to be ashamed of for his performance at the Stade Paul-Lignon. Before being abandoned by his defense on the only Ruthenian goal at the end of the match (88th), the former Strasbourg goalkeeper kept his team afloat for a long time, thanks to his saves against Wilitty Younoussa (42nd) then Dany Jean (43rd) in the first period. He was also good on his support to push back Youssoussa again (63rd. Pau occupies eleventh place in Ligue 2 after 15 days.
GORA DIOUF showed the way
Less successful than during the defeat in the round of 16 of the Swiss Cup on Wednesday against FC Basel, the 21-year-old central defender rectified the situation, like his other partners at FC Sion, during the victory in Super League against Young Boys this Saturday (3-1). The former Etoile Lusitana player delivered a great performance, and not only on the defensive level, he who clearly won his duel with Silvère Ganvoula. Very rarely found wanting, Diouf was impeccable defensively and decisive offensively, opening the scoring in the 14th minute for his first professional goal.
FALLOU FALL titled
Phenomenal with the revelation of the season in Norway, Fredrikstad FK, the 20-year-old defender could not dream of a better end to the season with FFK. This Saturday, in the final of the Norwegian Cup, the player on loan from Stade de Reims was the author of another breathtaking defensive performance against Molde. Impassable in his left lane for more than 120 minutes, Fallou Fall largely contributed to the 12th coronation on penalties (0-0, 5-4 tab) of Fredrikstad which, after finishing sixth in Eliteserien, concluded in triumph and will play Europe next season.
MOUSSA NDIAYE scorer
Increasingly efficient, the Anderlecht left-back did the job, and even better, in the round of 16 of the Belgian Cup on Thursday against Westerlo. Always busy with his defensive tasks but never satisfied with his offensive efforts, the former Barça Atlètic player scored the third goal for the Mauves, winning 4-1. Starting in the Championship against Beerschot this Sunday (2-1 victory), he did not score but delivered a solid defensive performance. With him, Anderlecht reached the quarter-finals of the Belgian Cup and moved on to the Pro League, where they were ranked third.
ILAY CAMARA active
One of the few satisfactions of the start of the season for Standard de Liège, the 21-year-old piston shone again against Oud-Louvain this Saturday (1-1), during the 17e day of Jupiler Pro League. As is often the case, the former Anderlecht and RWD Molenbeek player was very active, playing regularly in the left lane. In addition to his decisive pass for Andi Zeqiri at the end of the first period, Camara weighed offensively with his crosses, without forgetting his defensive work. His dream of playing with the Senegal Lions should undoubtedly happen in the future, if he continues on this path.
PATHE CISS decisive
Sent off in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday against Salamanca, the 31-year-old midfielder gave himself very good reasons to make amends. Starting Saturday on the Valencia pitch for his 115th match with Rayo Vallecano, Pathé Ciss indeed scored the only goal of the victory for the Madrilenians with a header in the 7th minute. In addition to his offensive success, the former Diambars essentially did his job in the midfield, notably with numerous balls recovered and subsequently improved. Rayo Vallecano, which had three defeats in LaLiga, can thank its Senegalese international.
LAMINE CAMARA inspired
When we see the way he handles set pieces with AS Monaco, we have to wonder why it’s not him who hits them regularly in a Senegalese selection struggling in this register. Still hard at work against Toulouse this Saturday (2-0 victory), the 20-year-old midfielder was the passer for Wilfried Singo in the opening goal for Monaco. Very close to offering a new pass to the Ivorian defender, he was very good in balance and stability in the midfield, and was authoritarian in the duels. Essential for Monaco training, second in Ligue 1.
EL HADJI MALICK DIOUF restarts
Sparkling with Slavia Prague since the start of the season, the 19-year-old left piston came out of a short period of drought with eleven games without scoring. He stopped this series by being the only scorer in his team’s victory against Baník Ostrava on Thursday. Faulty on the free kick which opened the scoring against Sigma Olomouc this Sunday, Malick recovered well throughout the match and ended up delivering a solid and convincing performance. Slavia Prague, which turned everything around in the last minutes in Olomouc (1-2), regained its ten point lead over its runner-up in the Championship.
PAPE DEMBA DIOP on the rise
Excellent with Zulte Waregem for several weeks, the 21-year-old midfielder produced another excellent performance against Beveren this Saturday (4-0 victory). He broke the deadlock after 20 minutes of play with a magnificent scissor. In addition to this fourth achievement of the season, the former resident of Diambars was very good in the game, offering many solutions to his partners with his always well-measured passes. Always so generous in his efforts, he showed a lot of play in the midfield of the Coalisés, leaders of the Challenger Pro League (Belgian D2).
PAPE MOUSSA FALL continues
After his hat-trick against Molenbeek, the 20-year-old striker made another impact for RFC Seraing in the Belgian Second Division Championship. He scored the only goal for the Seresians on the Deinze pitch. In addition, he puts a lot of effort into tucks and fixation.
MAME BABA THIAM supersonic
Who else? Still as formidable for the defenders of the Turkish Championship, the 32-year-old striker hurt again, this time to the defense of Samsunspor, beaten 3-0 by Eyupspor this Sunday. A beautiful volley in the 54th minute to break the deadlock, then an unstoppable header to add to the score and sign his eighth goal of the season. The former player of Kasimpasa, Fenerbahçe, Kayserispor and Pendikspor is one of the headliners of the Süper Lig, to the delight of Eyüpspor, 4th in the ranking by being promoted.
