Abdul Aziz Yakubu, the Ghanaian forward, showcased his incredible goal-scoring prowess by scoring a remarkable hat-trick against Shenzhen FC in a recent Chinese Super League match at the Shenzhen Bao’an Stadium.
His outstanding performance earned him a well-deserved place in the league’s Team of the Week, as recognized by Sofascore.
Yakubu’s goal-scoring display began in the 36th minute when he found the back of the net to equalize after his team had fallen behind just ten minutes earlier.
Maintaining his stellar form, Yakubu struck again in the 61st minute, scoring his second goal from close range. This time, it was Yan Dinghao who provided an excellent headed pass to set up the goal.
Not content with just two goals, Yakubu completed his hat-trick only two minutes later. Nicolae Stanciu delivered a precise pass, allowing Yakubu to confidently finish and secure his impressive feat.
This exceptional performance adds to Yakubu’s recent run of goal-scoring form, as he has now netted a total of five goals in his last three games. With such momentum, he will be eager to replicate these outstanding performances in the team’s upcoming matches.
