In-form Ghana defender Nicholas Opoku scored high marks for Kasımpaşa SK despite a goalless home draw against Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.
The result proved significant, as KasımpaÅŸa climbed out of the relegation zone to sit 14th in the 18-team league, thanks in large part to Opoku’s commanding presence at the heart of defence.
The former Amiens centre-back delivered another all-round, disciplined performance, reading the game superbly and shutting down Antalyaspor’s attacking threats. Calm under pressure and dominant in duels, Opoku marshalled the back line with maturity and leadership, ensuring his side secured a valuable clean sheet at a crucial stage of the season.
Opoku’s consistency has been nothing short of remarkable. He has played the full 90 minutes in all 18 league matches this campaign, a testament to his fitness, reliability and importance to the team. Week after week, the Ghana international has been one of KasımpaÅŸa’s standout performers, providing stability in a league known for its physicality and tactical demands.
Statistically, Opoku’s impact is equally impressive. He ranks highly in key defensive metrics, including clearances, tackles, interceptions and blocked shots, while maintaining strong passing accuracy and composure in possession. Notably, he has committed zero errors leading to shots or goals, further highlighting his concentration and decision-making.
With his blend of strength, intelligence and consistency, Nicholas Opoku continues to establish himself as one of the most dependable Ghanaian defenders currently plying his trade in Europe.
