Ghanaian defender Issah Yakubu has won his first silverware with Stade Malien de Bamako after helping the club to beat AS Real Bamako in the Malian Super Cup.
The former Dreams FC player lasted the entire duration of the game as his outfit strolled to a 2-0 win over AS Real Bamako on Saturday.
Issah Yakubu was a valuable presence at the back for his side sniffing away every danger. Having won his first trophy, he will hope to contribute more towards the success of the club.
The centre-back joined Stade Malien before the start of the 2023-24 football season from Ivorian club ES Bafing.
The 25-year-old departed Ghana for Cote d'Ivoire last year on a free transfer after his contract with Dreams FC expired at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
Yakubu was an instant hit in the Ivorian Ligue 1 with top-notch performances, which attracted the top sides in the country and outside.
The former Ghana U23 player earned a place in the team of the season of the Ivorian championship with his consistent performances.
Despite interest from other clubs, the highly-rated defender opted to join Stade Malien.
