Yassine Chikhaoui – Tunisia

Before the tournament began, Yassine Chikhaoui was billed as one to watch for the Carthage Eagles. He’s enjoyed a prolific season with FC Zurich, scoring and assisting in double figures. But in Tunisia’s opening match against Cape Verde, Carthage’s answer to Zinedine Zidane was stifled by his teammates’ lack of movement. Chikhaoui was much improved against Zambia, and his leadership was on display as he rose to meet a Ali Maaloul cross and head a game-winning goal past Kennedy Mweene.
