Ghanaian defender Baba Rahman showcased outstanding skill and leadership on Wednesday, playing a crucial role in PAOK’s commanding 4-0 victory against OFI Crete in the Greek Super League.
Rahman played a key part in creating the opening goal, providing the spark that allowed PAOK to break through OFI Crete’s resilient defense.
Additionally, he contributed to the team’s success by scoring the second goal, marking a standout performance.
Prior to Rahman’s heroics, PAOK missed an opportunity to take the lead when they failed to convert a penalty.
However, responding positively to Rahman’s contributions, PAOK went on to score two more goals, securing a comprehensive victory and claiming the top spot in the league after 16 matches.
Rahman’s exceptional season in Greece continues, and he now holds the record for the highest goal contribution by a Ghanaian defender in Europe this season, with three assists and one goal among his four contributions.
Overcoming past injuries, the left-back has hit top form in Greek football, delivering one of his best seasons in recent memory.
This outstanding performance comes after Rahman’s notable decision earlier in the week when he chose to opt out of Ghana’s Africa Cup of Nations squad.
He prioritized his focus on club commitments, despite his exceptional form that would have undoubtedly secured him a spot in the national team.
Rahman, with over 50 caps for the Black Stars, decided to stay behind and support his colleagues in their quest to win the AFCON crown in Ivory Coast.
