Rabat – Moroccan international Tarik Tissoudali’s first official debut with UAE’s Khorfakkan has proven the player’s prowess.
Tissoudali’s stellar performance earned him the Best Player of the Match title, following his contribution to Khorfakkan’s convincing 3-0 victory over Al-Arabi in the 16th round of the UAE League.
The Moroccan international delivered a stellar performance by scoring one goal and providing an assist.
Khorfakkan fans selected Tissoudali for the award following his instrumental role in the win.
The 30-year-old forward joined Khorfakkan earlier this month during the recently concluded winter transfer window from Greek side PAOK Thessaloniki.
His move to the UAE came after a difficult period at PAOK, where he had fallen out of favor despite contributing six goals and an assist across 28 appearances this season.
Reports say he had been training alone before securing the six-month loan deal to Khorfakkan.
Tissoudali started his professional career in the Netherlands with Telstar in 2014, before playing for several Dutch clubs including Cambuur, VVV-Venlo, and De Graafschap.
His career gained momentum at Belgian club Gent in 2021, before moving to the Greek league with PAOK earlier this year.
Though born in the Netherlands, Tissoudali represents Morocco internationally. He debuted for Morocco’s U23 team in 2016 and made his senior national team debut during Morocco’s 1-0 victory against Ghana in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations.
Khorfakkan fans will be hoping Tissoudali’s impressive debut is just the beginning of a successful spell that helps elevate the club’s position in the UAE league standings.
Moroccan players are continuing to make strides in international clubs, proving the country is home to talented and stellar footballers.
