Ghanaian defender Nicholas Opoku has been named in Sofascore's Ligue 2 team of the week. 

Opoku played a pivotal role in Amiens' goalless draw against Troyes in Ligue 2, helping his team maintain a clean sheet in the match played at the Stade Crédit Agricole de la Licorne.

The 26-year-old center-back started the game and played the full 90 minutes.

Opoku had a remarkable 95% pass accuracy, 48 touches, 100% accurate long balls, six clearances, one block, 67% ground duels won, and 80% aerial duels won. His contributions were crucial in keeping Troyes at bay and securing a point for Amiens.

The first half of the game was relatively quiet, with both teams struggling to create clear-cut chances. The second half saw more action, with Troyes pushing for a goal, but Amiens' defense, led by Opoku, held firm. The Ghanaian international was a rock at the back, making crucial interceptions and clearances to keep Troyes from scoring.

In the 87th minute, Opoku made a vital clearance to prevent a late winner from Troyes, ensuring that Amiens walked away with a point. The draw leaves Amiens in 10th place in the Ligue 2 table, while Troyes remains in 17th place.

The Ghanaian international has been a key player for Amiens this season, featuring in 20 games and helping the team keep eight clean sheets.
