Atsu was a tormentor-in-chief on the right flank of the Black Stars and was key to Ghana’s attack.

The on-loan Everton player displayed some dribbling skills and whipped in some crosses which caused problems for the South Africa defenders.

He is the second Ghana player to win the award after captain Asamoah Gyan’s adjudged best player in the 1-0 win over Algeria.
