Five Of The Best Dominic AdiyiahThe youngster scored two goals on Friday night to help see Ghana into the semifinals of the 2009 FIFA Under-20 World Cup after a 3-2 win over Korea Republic. They were his fifth and sixth goals of the tournament, making him the top goal-scorer in the competition, two ahead of a clutch of players, including teammate Ransford Osei. His performances throughout the tournament have been magnificent.
Kapango
The Mozambique goalkeeper was in brilliant for to deny Nigeria right until the death in their 2010 World Cup/Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Abuja on Sunday. Kapango pulled off save after save in the second half before he was finally beaten by Victor Obinna three minutes into injury time.
Mohamed AoudouThe striker gave Benin just their third-ever victory over Ghana in 19 attempts at the weekend as his lone goal in Cotonou was enough for a 1-0 win that sends his side to the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola in January. The 19-year-old plays for Evian Thonon Gaillard in the French third division and this was most definitely the biggest goal of his young career.
Essam Al-Hadary
The second goalkeeper to make this week's list, Al-Hadary was sensational in keeping Zambia at bay as Egypt somehow squeezed a 1-0 win out of their trip to Chililabombwe on Saturday. The Pharaohs had just one shot on goal all match, from which they scored, but the Zambians repeatedly pummeled Al-Hadary's goal, but the veteran stopper was equal to everything they threw at him.
Jacob Ngwira
Ngwira helped make history as he scored to give Malawi a first-ever draw against Cote d'Ivoire, who had won all four previous matches between the two sides. The 24-year-old defender netted to briefly give his side the lead before Didier Drogba levelled matters, and also put in a good all-round defensive display for his side.
