Mame Biram Diouf – Senegal

With a goal and an assist Mame Biram Diouf justified Alain Giresse’s decision to start the Stoke City striker despite the pool of attacking quality in the Teranga Lions’ ranks. Diouf, who started the vast majority of qualifiers, continued his good run of form, torching the Ghanaian defence time and time again with audacious attempts on goal. Giresse will surely start Diouf once more against South Africa later this week.
