🪄 Ex-international and Icon League MVP?! Team of the week | OneFootball

While yesterday’s Icon League matchday allowed the Fokus Eagles to pull even further ahead, the rest of the table closed up so tightly that everything will remain open until the end. There are just 3 points between fourth place, which means direct qualification for the final, and tenth place, which means elimination. It remains exciting, and every single goal counts. 

That naturally makes it all the more important not to concede goals. And Tugay Akbakla did that so brilliantly that there was no way around including him in the Team of the Week. With 16 saves and many denied clear-cut chances, he played a huge part in DNA’s win. He left the Plyrs thoroughly frustrated and also provided two assists. DNA continue their winning streak and can once again dream of the final. 

The Fokus Eagles have already secured their place in Zurich and need just one point from their next three games to crown themselves champions.

Ali Wazneh was outstanding in their match against the Berlin Underdogs. The 25-year-old scored four goals, which means he now has the most goal contributions in the league together with Emincan Tekin. Wazneh’s name came up several times yesterday in the discussion about the season MVP, and his place in the Team of the Week is beyond doubt. 

Diren Günay scored no fewer than five goals as Berlin City beat Eintracht Spandau. He netted three of them during the Rulebreaker 5-Shot and added two more shortly before the final whistle. Particularly remarkable was his first touch before making it 8–6, when Günay controlled the ball in classic Neymar style with his heel behind his standing leg and finished it into the net. That move alone more than earns him a place in the Team of the Week. 

And a former national team player also makes the Team of the Week. Marcel Halstenberg scored twice from distance in regular time. But his big moment came in overtime, when he netted the golden goal for an important 8–7 win.

The final player in the Team of the Week is Johann von Knebel, who won with the Wontorriors against second-placed Two Stripes United. With three goals and one assist, he played a key role in the victory.
