Ghanaian sensation Mohammed Kudus has been honored with a spot in the Europa League Team of the Week, despite his club West Ham United's elimination from the competition by Bayer Leverkusen.
Although West Ham fell short in their bid to advance, Kudus' standout performance during the intense 1-1 draw at the London Stadium earned him recognition in the SofaScore best XI of the week following the quarterfinal second leg fixtures.
Despite the disappointment of the team's exit, Kudus showcased his prowess on the pitch, creating three scoring opportunities, the highest by any player in the match. Additionally, the dynamic midfielder displayed his exceptional dribbling skills, completing the most dribbles of any player with four during the encounter.
While West Ham got off to a promising start with an early goal from Michail Antonio in the 13th minute, they were unable to maintain their lead, conceding a late equalizer in the 89th minute to Jeremie Frimpong.
Despite the outcome, Kudus' individual excellence has been duly recognized, reaffirming his status as one of the standout performers in the Europa League.
