The Black Stars of Ghana started their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament with a home win against the Walia Antelopes of Ethiopia on Friday night in Cape Coast.
Ghana won 1-0 thanks to a thunderous first half strike from Mubarak Wakaso as Jeffrey Schlupp was taken off after 27 minutes due to an injury.
The Black Stars take on South Africa next on Monday but before this is how we at SPORTSWorldGhana.com rated the individual performances of the Ghana players.
Man of the match
Right back – Andrews Yiadom – 7/10
The Reading full-back assisted Wakaso for the Ghana opening goal. Yiadom was always a threat for the Ethiopians any time he bombs forward. Aside his attacking moves he did not forget to recover quickly to defend whenever the opponent had the ball.
Certainly the best Ghana performer tonight.
