Ibrahimovic beats Waris to top French award

Ghana striker Abdul Majeed Waris narrowly missed out on the French Ligue 1 player of the month of March to Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The 22-year-old was highly tipped to pip the Swedish international to the award after scoring four goals in March but he surprisingly missed out on it.

Ibrahimovic, who won majority of the votes cast by followers of the Ligue 1, scored three goals in the month but he surprisingly beat the Black Stars striker to the award.

However, the on-loan Spartak Moscow striker finished ahead of Ola Toivonen. This is the second time Waris has lost an award to Ibrahimovic.
