Ghanaian pair, Gideon Mensah and Abdul Mumin impressed despite Vitoria Guimaraes losing 3-1 to Rio Ave on Saturday night in the Portuguese Primera Liga.
Mumin and Mensah have been impressive for Guimaraes and had conceded two goals in the five games leading to the Rio Ave encounter.
Mumin started in central defense and completed the entire 90 minutes of action at the Estadio D. Alfonso Henriques Stadium in Guimaraes while Mensah played 81 minutes at left-back J. Henriques’ men.
Rio Ave raced to a 2-0 lead in the first half before Ricardo Quaresma missed a penalty and then scored the rebound to half the deficit.
Four minutes later, Gelson Dala put the game beyond Guimaraes to end Guimaraes’ unbeaten run of 5 games.
