Ghana striker Jordan Ayew wins MOTM award in draw against Benin

Ghana striker Jordan Ayew was adjudged the Man of the Match in the 2-2 draw against Benin in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations on Tuesday night.

The Crystal Palace forward was a constant threat to the Benin defense throughout the entire match.

He was heavily involved in the build up to Ghana’s first goal and capped off his performance by getting his name on the scoresheet.

Mickael Pote gave Benin a shock lead after two minutes but Black Stars captain Andre Ayew restored parity.

Jordan put Ghana in front with a delightful finish, but Pote earned the Squirrels a point after John Boye was dismissed for a second yellow card.

The result leaves Cameroon at the summit of Group F on three points, Ghana and Benin trail on one point each with Guinea Bissau at the foot of the standings with no point.

Ghana next play Cameroon on Saturday whilst Benin lock horns with Guinea Bissau also at the same venue.
