• The win gives Ghana a hope of keeping their World Cup goal alive

Ghana entered the history books after they kept their World Cup hopes alive, following an incredible first-half display against South Korea in their second Group H game.

The Black Stars, who needed to make a statement after an opening-day defeat to Portugal, scored two first goals to take a comfortable 2-0 lead against their Asian opponents.

Mohammed Salisu’s 24th-minute goal and Mohammed Kudus’ 34th-minute strike ensured Ghana has now scored in seven consecutive World Cup matches.

Ghana's Salisu sets amazing record

Meanwhile, Salisu entered the record books as the first defender to ever score a World Cup goal for Ghana, after netting against South Korea.

The 23-year-old central defender gave the Black Stars the lead against the Taegeuk Warriors, smashing in from close range after a Ghanaian set piece was poorly defended by the Asian champions.

Salisu, who has just four appearances for Ghana's national team, made his debut for the Black Stars in their 3-0 defeat to Brazil in an international friendly on September 23 this year.
