Senegal goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy, believes Egypt goalkeeper Mohamed Abou Gabal “Gabaski” was the best goalkeeper of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Mendy was crowned the best goalkeeper of the competition for providing a safe pair of hands for the Teranga Lions’ march to glory.
But many believe Gabaski should have won the award, following his heroic performances throughout the competition in which he played 368 minutes, saved 15 of the 16 shots on target he faced, that is averagely a save in every 24 minutes. Kept 3 clean sheets in the process. He was also voted man of the match in the final.
Speaking to Egyptian TV station MBC after the final, Mendy said; “Gabaski is the best goalkeeper of the tournament, honestly. I spoke to him and I told him he deserves it [to win goalkeeper of the tournament]. And I was really impressed by his tournament.”
