Hassan the vice captain of the Fijian outfit dazzled his oppositions in the competition with his silky footwork and lethal right foot.
“I am really happy to finish as the top goal scorer and thank my team mates for setting up the goals which I scored in the tournament.
“ Its an awesome feeling to finish on top and this achievement is something which I will always cherish in life and it just feels great to win this award for Fiji” he said.
