Ghanaian defender Baba Rahman showcased a masterclass performance on Wednesday, guiding PAOK to a commanding 4-0 triumph over OFI Crete in the Greek Super League.
Rahman’s influence was evident from the outset as he played a pivotal role in breaking through OFI Crete’s resilient defense, contributing to the opening goal and eventually adding a goal himself, steering PAOK towards a dominating victory.
PAOK initially missed a penalty opportunity but rallied positively following Rahman’s impact, securing two more goals to clinch the victory and claim the top spot in the league after completing 16 matches.
Rahman’s exceptional season in Greece continues to soar, as he now holds the record for the highest goal contribution by a Ghanaian defender in Europe this season, boasting three assists and one goal among his remarkable four contributions.
Despite battling past injuries, the left-back has hit a peak in Greek football, delivering a standout season that stands as one of his best in recent memory.
His decision to forego participation in Ghana’s Africa Cup of Nations squad, communicated earlier in the week, showcased his dedication to club commitments. Despite the certainty of securing a spot in the national team due to his exceptional form and over 50 caps for the Black Stars, Rahman prioritized supporting his colleagues’ quest for the AFCON crown in Ivory Coast.
Rahman’s outstanding performance and commitment to his club underscore his leadership and unwavering focus on delivering top-tier football, both domestically and internationally.
