Ghanaian midfielder Alhassan suffered a slim 1-0 defeat in the first leg semi finals of the 2016 Portuguese Cup away to SC Braga.
The 23 year old last Rio Aves defensive screen spanned the full throttle of the tie and was a booked in the early stages of the night for a reckless challenge.
Pedro Santos seventh minute spot kick proved to be the match winner for SC Braga ahead of the return leg away to Rio.
Wakasu bossed affairs from the centre of the pitch for the ambitious Rio but was powerless to prevent his side from losing the first leg despite their spirited performances.
The defensive midfielder pocketed his 23rd appearances of the season for the mid table Rio Aves in a thrilling 1-0 win for Braga at the Municipal Axa Stadium in Portuguese.
The former Portimonense utility man has made himself a regular fixture for Rio Aves in the ongoing 2015/16 European season and will be looking to revenge the score line when Braga comes visiting for the return leg.
The winner of the tie will take most likely lock horns with 2004 Europeanchampions FC Porto after their commanding first leg win over Gil Vicente on the road.
