• The Black Stars put up an outstanding performance on Wednesday night to brush aside Madagascar with a 3-0 win

Felix Afena Gyan has netted his first international goal for Ghana as they lead Madagascar 2-0 in a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game on Wednesday.

The AS Roma forward connected to Gideon Mensah's ball to give Ghana a second goal at the Cape Coast Stadium.

It took the 19-year-old striker three games to score his debut goal for the four-time African champions.

Back from recess, Ajax attacking midfielder Mohammed Kudus opened the lead for the Black Stars in the 54th minute.

Two minutes later after Kudus’ strike, Afena-Gyan poked home from close range in the 56th minute to give the Black Stars a deserved cushion against the Barea at the Cape Coast Stadium.
