    MUNICH, June 21 (Xinhua) -- Aruna Dindane, who scored twice in Cote d'Ivoire's 3-2 victory over Serbia and Montenegro, was voted the Man of the Match by members of the FIFA Technical Study Group (TSG) here on Wednesday.

    "Dindane scored two goals playing highly aggressive and offensive football," said Rodrigo Kenton of FIFA's Technical Study Group (TSG). "He was incredibly powerful, always drove the play forward and only ever had one aim in his mind: to score."

    Dindane, 26, who plays with French side Lens, should have scored the World Cup's first hat-trick but the unselfish player gave the chance to teammate Bonaventure Kalou, who fired home a penalty kick in the 86th minute.

    "I think my friends also want to score," he said. "We are a team. We have a lot of fun together. A team is always more important than individual." Enditem
