Jerry Afriyie named Best Player and top scorer of WAFU B U-20

Black Satellites forward Jerry Afriyie swept two awards at the just-ended WAFU B U-20 Cup of Nations Championship in Lome, Togo.

The Thoughts FC frontman was named the Best Player of the tournament as well as the top scorer following the final on Wednesday, October 30.

Afriyie was a key figure for Ghana as they finished second after losing to Nigeria in the final.

He scored five goals in five games including a consolation on Wednesday night for Desmond Ofei’s men as they secured qualification to next year’s U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.

Afriyie scored a brace against Benin in the opening game before scoring also in the last group game against Togo.

The athletic forward was also key in the semifinal tie against Cote d’Ivoire as he scored in the comeback win to secure AFCON qualification.
