Egypt's in-form striker Ahmed Hassan 'Kouka' continued his rich vein of form after netting the opener in Braga's 4-0 victory over Belenenses in the Portuguese league on Saturday.
The 22-year-old ghosted behind his marker at the far post to volley home a left-wing cross six minutes before the break and three second-half goals from Ricardo Ferreira, Nikola Stojiljkovic and Rafa Silva gave Braga a comfortable win.
Kouka has produced some fine displays since joining Braga in the close season from fellow Portuguese side Rio Ave.
His goal against Belenenses is his first in three league appearances this season but he scored twice in the Europa League, including a superb goal in last week's thrilling 3-2 victory at home to French giants Marseille.
He also bagged a brace in Egypt’s 3-0 friendly win over Zambia in Abu Dhabi earlier this month. He is favourite to lead the Pharaohs’ frontline in their upcoming World Cup qualifier against Chad next month.
