Kudus Mohammed was key to Ghana's victory on Wednesday evening after breaking the game's deadlock in the 54th minute. The Ajax star bundled home after meeting an Afena-Gyan low cross.

He was replaced late in the game after Afena-Gyan and Osman Bukari had added to the tally for Ghana.

Mohammed Kudus had a challenging campaign in Holland, making only 16 Eredivisie appearances, following an injury-ravaged season.
