Ghana international Majeed Ashimeru delivered a standout performance to earn the Most Valuable Player award, despite RAAL La Louvière falling short in their Belgian Pro League relegation playoff match against FCV Dender EH.
‎The 28-year-old midfielder was at the heart of La Louvière’s efforts, producing an all-action display that underlined his importance to the side even in defeat.
‎
‎Ashimeru played 73 minutes and was heavily involved throughout, recording 48 touches and completing an impressive 98% of his passes. His composure in possession was complemented by his ability to drive the team forward, completing all three of his dribble attempts and making 10 progressive ball carries.
‎
‎Defensively, he was equally effective, winning his only tackle, making two interceptions, and registering eight recoveries. He also dominated in duels, winning four of his five ground battles, while contributing creatively with a key pass and accurate long balls.
‎
‎Despite the result, Ashimeru’s performance stood out as a bright spot, earning recognition as the game’s best player.
‎
‎His display highlights his growing influence in Belgium and reinforces his reputation as a dynamic midfielder capable of impacting both ends of the pitch.
‎
‎As the relegation battle continues, La Louvière will be hoping Ashimeru can maintain this level of performance to help steer the club to safety.
