Mohammed Kudus pays tribute to Christian Atsu after Ajax goal

Mohammed Kudus paid tribute to fellow Ghanaian, Christian Atsu, after scoring late in Ajax’s 4-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie. Atsu died in the earthquake that devastated parts of Turkey and Syria earlier this month.

He had been missing since the immediate aftermath and, although it was initially thought he had survived the quake, his agent revealed this week he had perished in a building he was living in, in Antakya. Kudus, who was a part of Ghana’s senior squad in 2019 at the same time as Atsu, scored from a free kick in the 84th minute of the match. He then ran to the sideline and lifted his Ajax shirt to reveal another white shirt underneath with “RIP Atsu” written on it.
