Otto Addo decided not to play Dede Ayew and now we've won an away game. If he continues with this courage Black Stars will win the world cup.

Jordan Ayew has FIVE goals in his last four games for Ghana. Came off the bench, created a big chance, and scored the winner.

Otto Addo lesson in leadership for the other Addo. When you have exhausted your normal cards, make critical changes to bring on your aces not repeat clunky replacements. Nana Addo lost us 8+8 years of our lives.

Jordan Ayew is automatically Ghana legend after this game. I don’t care what anyone will say… A Black Stars legend..period. Jordan Ayew over Mbappe.
