Ghanaian international Ibrahim Sulemana's outstanding performance in Atalanta’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Genoa on Saturday, May 17, earned him the Man of the Match award in their Serie A clash.The Ghanaian midfielder delivered a performance full of maturity, flair, and decisive impact at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, marking his second consecutive game with a goal — and this time, a truly spectacular one.

Making only his second league start of the season after suffering injuries earlier in the campaign, Sulemana has hit a form well befitting a 21-year-old.

Andrea Pinamonti scored to put Genoa ahead 1-0 in the 37th minute; however, just two minutes into the second half, Sulemana equalized for his side.

Controlling a lofted pass on his chest outside the box, he allowed the ball to bounce once before unleashing a fierce half-volley that rocketed into the far bottom corner.

Sulemana was quite instrumental in Atalanta's comeback after Genoa took the lead in the 37th minute.

The midfielder controlled the tempo of the game, breaking Genoa’s attacks and distributing passes with precision.

His energy and intensity boosted Atalanta’s comeback, with a goal from Daniel Maldini and Mateo Retegui in the 62nd minute and 88th minute, respectively.

Ibrahim's standout performance earned him the Man of the Match award, further cementing his reputation as one of Ghana’s brightest prospects.

Ibrahim Sulemana is Ghanaian. He was born in Sunyani, Ghana, and has represented the Ghana national team since 2024.

His recent performances for Atalanta have strengthened his case as a rising star for both club and country.
