The Black Stars of Ghana beat the Lone Stars of Liberia 3-1 in a friendly game played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Tuesday evening.
It comes a few days after beating the Central African Republic to grab their ticket to AFCON 2023.
Goals from Earnest Nuamah, Mohammed Kudus, and Ayew ensured the fans of the Black Stars had something to cheer about on a rainy day.
After a cagey first half that surprisingly ended goalless, the floodgates opened in the second half as Nuamah, Kudus, and Ayew netted to fire Ghana into a 3-0 lead, while the Liberians got a consolation goal to end the game 3-1.
Despite the Black Stars’ dominance in the first half, the goals weren’t forthcoming, but the second half followed a different path.
Seven minutes into the second half, Nicholas Opoku found Ernest Nuamah, who made no mistakes to open the scoring for Ghana.
While Ansumana Keita’s side were trying to recover, Kudus doubled the lead after a beautiful cross from Ernest Nuamah in the 60th minute.
Ghana continued to dominate, with Chris Hughton taking off Mohammed Kudus and Antoine Semenyo for Andre Ayew and Ransford Yeboah in the 74th minute.
The match was still going to bring more excitement for the fans with barely 10 minutes left!
Jordan Ayew, who had earlier replaced Nuamah, made it three for the Black Stars with eight minutes left to play, all but putting the result beyond reasonable doubt.
The Black Stars kept on the ball to see out the game as time began to run out; however, the visitors got a consolation goal in added time to ensure they left the Accra Sports Stadium with something to cheer about.
