Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew demonstrated his goal-scoring prowess by finding the back of the net, sealing the win with a well-placed shot. This goal marked his 20th for the national team since making his debut back in 2010.

Ayew’s contributions will undoubtedly play a crucial role in Ghana’s quest for success in these competitions.
