Daniel Afriyieh Barnieh named in Swiss Super League team of the week

Daniel Afriyie Barnieh, the Ghanaian forward, has earned recognition for his exceptional performance for FC Zurich against FC Lugano by securing a spot in Sofascore’s Swiss Super League team of the week.

The former Hearts of Oak striker played a pivotal role in FC Zurich’s commanding 3-0 triumph, contributing two goals in the second half to ignite a compelling performance by the home team at the Letzigrund.

Afriyie Barnieh broke the deadlock in the 68th minute before netting his second just eight minutes later. Jonathan Okita sealed the victory with a goal in the final ten minutes of the match.

Having secured two goals to his name, this achievement will undoubtedly bolster his confidence as he aspires to cement his place in the first team and work towards earning a recall to the Black Stars squad.

FC Zurich currently holds the top position on the League table with 7 points after participating in three matches.
