UEFA CL: Great night for African stars

Zambo Anguissa Naples
UEFA CL: Great night for African stars

A few minutes after seeing Mané, Choupo Moting, Harit and Mbemba shine on the European turf, Zambo Anguissa has again impressed in the Champions League with two assists.

Champions League night very rich for the Africans. Several of them have been honored with great performances. Sadio Mané was voted "man of the match" in the Bayern-Viktoria Plzen match (5-0). And at the Velodrome, Amine Harit signed the same invoice as the Senegalese. The Moroccan midfielder was also a goal and an assist against Sporting (4-1) for the first victory of OM in the Champions League. Despite the great performance of these two players, another African could be elected ''MVP of the evening''. A midfielder who has made a remarkable start to the season. His name is Franck Zambo Anguissa.

Two passes for Zambo Anguissa
Zapped by Rigobert Song during the last meeting of the Indomitable Lions, the former Marseille showed again tonight that he was by far the best Cameroonian footballer less than two months before the World Cup. Double scorer in the championship this weekend, on  Tuesday he has upgraded to another register. He collects the balls and regulates the game of Napoli, which has conceded very early the opening goal through Mohamed Kudus (9th).

But Ajax will be in front only for a short time. It was a deluge for the Dutch at the Stadio Diego Maradona. Napoli wins 6-1 with two assists from Zambo Anguissa. The Italian club is full in this first phase. With nine points, they are in the first place of group A in front of Liverpool (6 pts), winner of Rangers (2-0). In big difficulty at the beginning of the season, Mohamed Salah scored. He converted a penalty in the second half.

Zaidu and Kamal Sowah decisive
In the shock of the day, Inter Milan surprised Barça (1-0). The Cameroonian goalkeeper Onana, author of a decent game in the sticks, was even given a great rescue on his only mistake that should have led to the equalization of the Catalans. But Pedri's goal will be cancelled because of a harmless hand of Ansu Fati. Barça (3 pts) thus suffered a second defeat and let Inter (6 pts) steal the second place behind Bayern (9 pts).

Finally, in Group B, thanks to the Nigerian Zaidu, Porto recorded its first win. The Portuguese dominated Bayern Leverkusen 2-0 and the African defender opened the score in the 70th minute. Ghanaian Kamal Sowah also put his team FC Brugge on the map, punishing Atletico Madrid (2-0).
