Ghanaian defender Abeiku Ainooson was crowned man-of-the-match in Al Hilal's 1-0 victory over Al Shandi in the Sudanese league on Thursday afternoon.

The 23-year-old played full wing in the game and was by far the most consistent player in Blue.

This is the second time the on-loan Asante Kotoko player at Al Hilal has won the man-of-match for after standing tall in their 1-0 defeat to Gor Mahia a few weeks ago.

Ainooson joined Al Hilal three months ago alongside former Liberty Professionals Kennedy Ashia who played in that game too.

The victory puts Al Hilal on 3rd place in the Sudanese league table.
