  • Mohammed Kudus was on target twice at the 2022 World Cup in Ghana's 3-2 win against South Korea
  • While his first goal was a simple header from close range, it came as a result of patient build-up from the four-time African champions
  • The Black Stars pieced together a fluid 31-pass move lasting 95 seconds which resulted in the Ajax star scoring his first goal of the afternoon

Ghana head into the final World Cup group matches with a real statement of intent by defeating South Korea 3-2 on Monday afternoon in Al Rayyan.

And if the scoreline wasn't ominous enough, Otto Addo's side have now started conjuring up goals involving 31-pass moves involving almost the entire team.

Revealed by Opta, it turns out to be the goal with the most passes leading to a goal for the Black Stars at the World Cup.

Mohammed Kudus' first of a double for the four-time African champions - after 34 minutes at the Education City stadium - may have been a header from close range but it was the culmination of a patient string of passes.

It has surpassed the previous highest of 14, which was scored by Andre Ayew against the United States in 2014.

Ghana will next face Uruguay in a cliffhanger on Friday as they eye a place in the last 16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The four-time African champions have only failed to make it beyond the group stage once, reaching the round of 16 and the quarter-finals in 2006 and 2010.

Mohammed Kudus wins Man of the Match award

Kudus was awarded the Man of the Match after Ghana's entertaining victory over South Korea in their second Group H game at the World Cup.

The Ajax star scored twice to help Ghana to a 3-2 victory at the Education City stadium in Al Rayyan on Monday afternoon.

The 22-year-old gave Ghana a two goal lead before half time after connecting to a Jordan Ayew cross before smashing home the winner following a pass from Gideon Mensah, which was first missed by Inaki Williams.

Ghana set new record at World Cup

Sports Brief earlier reported that 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.

Ghana recorded their first win of the 2022 FIFA World Cup after they defeated South Korea 3-2 on Monday, November 28. Mohammed Salisu’s 24th-minute goal and Mohammed Kudus’ 34th-minute strike ensured Ghana has now scored in seven consecutive World Cup matches.
