Black Sharks goalkeeper Gideon Adjei has been singled out and recognized for his discipline and exceptional performance in the 5-4 defeat to Egypt.

The 20 year old who received a TECNO Phantom II mobile phone was passed fit to play just before the deadline for submission of teams on Wednesday.

He was given the all clear after a  scan following his injury against Ivory Coast on Tuesday.

Officials said the scan was precautionary and that the player is not in any danger.

In the match against Egypt, Adjei pulled off a number of saves including a penalty but it was not enough to prevent defeat which left him in tears and inconsolable at the final whistle.
