Daniel Akpeyi [Chippa United]

The Super Eagles goalkeeper played a vital role in ensuring Chippa United secured a much-needed point against Platinum Stars.

Akpeyi made a string of superb saves to add to his credentials as a good shot-stopper.

The Chelsea loanee proved a constant threat going forward and, although his side conceded one goal, he was efficient in the discharge of his duties for the Tigers.

Tyronne Ebuehi [Ado den Haag]

Any match involving den Haag and Ajax Amsterdam usually end in favour of the former European champions but Ebuehi was a beast at the back for the hosts in the 1-1 draw.

William Troost Ekong [Bursaspor]

Ifeanyi Matthew [Lillestrom]

Matthew was a real handful, his passes, pace and physique was no match for the Kristiansund BK team in the 0-0 draw at the Aaraasen.

Anderson Esiti [KAA Gent]

The Liverpool loanee scored one goal for Mouscron in their 2-1 loss to Zulte Waregem. It was his second goal of the season.

Odion Ighalo [Changchun Yatai]
