Ousmane
Pape Sane, Sharks’ Senegalese centre half, now has his name in the
history books as the first foreign player to break into the newly
introduced Nigeria Premier League (NPL) team of the week selection.

The
Senegalese was impressive in the centre of defence for the Blue Angels
and was instrumental to Sharks’ 2-1 defeat last week. Pape is joined on
the list by teammate, Bright Ejike, who led the lines well for Sharks
against Enyimba in their week 9 fixture. The pacy Flying Eagles
forward’s outstanding performance on the day did his rising profile a
lot of good.

The
week nine selections had Port Harcourt sides Sharks and Dolphins
leading the pack with six of the top picks for this week’s team of the
week, including coach Dolphins’ coach, Stanley Eguma. Eguma’s
nomination means he was duly rewarded for leading his team back to the
top of the log after notching their second away victory a feat no other
team has achieved so far this season. The other clubs with their
players in the team of the week also includes Kaduna United, Warri
Wolves, Gombe United and Kwara United.

Outside
the Garden City team’s domination, there were also some interesting
picks, which saw Kwara United forward, Isiaka Olawale make the cut and
continue to make a case for veteran legs. Olawale made the team of the
week yet again after his two-goal display for his team.
