Two second half goals
from Jordan Ayew and Thomas Partey were enough to secure the Black Stars
qualification to the 1/16th stage of the AFCON competition.
The win ‒ Ghana’s first since the competition began last
week ‒ pits the Kwasi Appiah’s men against Mali, Tunisia
or Angola, depending on the outcomes of the last night matches which were being
played as of press time.
It also handed Ghana the
Group F top spot position.
Left back Baba Rahman
engineered both goals; first setting Jordan up to run past two defenders to
fetch the opener.
Minutes later, Mubarak Wakaso,
skipper Dede Ayew and Baba Rahman combined perfectly for Thomas Partey to
double the lead.
Earlier, Ghana survived
Guinea Bissau scares ‒ two hitting the wood work and goalkeeper Richard
Ofori proving equal to the challenge.
Jordan came close to
making a personal second, but the wood work denied him that opportunity.
Ghana topped the group
with five points, just as Cameroon but with superior goals.
The other game saw Benin
drawing 0-0 with Cameroon, who are likely to face Nigeria at the next stage.
