Jacksonville Armada Striker Alhassane Keita Earns NASL Player of the Week
Washington, D.C. (Stone Sports Management, LLC) – May 6, 2015
Stone Sports Management LLC ("SSM") would like to congratulate Striker Alhassane Keita for his achievement recognized by the North American Soccer League ("NASL") Player of the Week (Spring 5) (and of course to the NASL Team of the Week (Spring 5)). Keita was constantly involved throughout the game and was rewarded by scoring the game-winning goal in the 93rd minute to go up 2-1 against the 2014 NASL Champions San Antonio Scorpions. Keita also added a second assist on the club's first goal and worked diligently on defense tracking all the way back to the Armada's 18-yard box on occassion.
This is Keita's second Team of the Week and first ever Jacksonville Armada Player of the Week Award Winner. He now is co-leader on the team with two goals (along with Marcos Flores and Jemal Johnson). From NASL's website:
FWD: Alhassane Keita (Jacksonville Armada FC) – With time running out in Armada FC’s first match at Community First Park, a draw seemed to be the most likely result. That was until second-half substitute Akeil Barrett created space and played Alhassane Keita through on goal with just a minute left in stoppage time. The Guinean international made no mistake with the finish, scoring a dramatic winner to give Armada FC a 2-1 victory over the Scorpions.
