Egyptian striker Ahmed Hassan ‘Koka’ scored for the second straight game to move second in the top scorers chart of the Portuguese league.
Koka found the net two minutes before the break as Rio Ave came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Moreirense on Sunday.
The 21-year-old, who also scored in Rio Ave’s 1-1 draw with Boavista last week, took his tally to 11 league goals, five short of top scorer Jackson Martinez of Colombia.
Former Egypt coach Shawky Gharib was criticized for snubbing him in the final qualifying matches as the team failed to reach the 2015 African Cup of Nations for the third time in row.
Koka made 3 international appearances with Egypt’s senior team, scoring once.
