The defender started and lasted the entire duration of Ghana's 3-2 defeat to Portugal in the opening Group H game.

Meanwhile, Mohammed Kudus scored a brace to help the West Africans beat the Taegeuk Warriors and enhance the team's chances of making it to the last 16.

Mohammed Salisu opened the scoring after meeting a Jordan Ayew free kick in the box, before Kudus headed home another cross from the Crystal Palace man.

After the break, Cho Gue-sung scored a quickfire brace, but Kudus restored Ghana's lead in the 68th minute.

The Black Stars will face Uruguay on Friday for a place in the second round.

Baba Rahman loaned to Reading

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Ghana defender Baba Rahman joined Reading FC in the English second-tier Championship, on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

Rahman joined the Blues in 2015 and has had little chance to impress at Stamford Bridge, having spent most of his time on loan to other clubs.

It was expected that the left-back would move out on loan again this season, after he was left out of Chelsea's Premier League and Champions League squads.
