Richard Ofori( 7/10) – Great save to deny piquetta in the first half. Was saved by the woodwork thrice. Another clean sheet for him.
Andy Yiadom( 6/10)- Another decent performance the chap. Great ball awareness. Always at the right place at the right time. Didn’t contribute much on the attack.
Baba Rahman ( 8/10) – Two assist from the budding left back. Didn’t put any foot wrong. Was a constant threat on the attack. Got his crossing on point.
Joseph Aidoo( 6/10)- Ride his luck in the first half after fouling Mendez in the penalty box. Got all his tackles right. Promising debut for the Genk defender.
John Boye(6 /10) – Great game by the returnee. Won almost all the aerial duels. Always assured at the back.
Mubarak Wakaso( 7/10) – Another good outing by the Alaves midfielder. Shielded the defense very well with some good interception. Still has to work on his long balls.
Thomas Partey(7 /10) – Finally came to the party with a good game. Struggled in the first half, got better in the second half. Can still do better with a great performance.
Andre Ayew( 6/10) – Started the move for Ghana’s second goal. Worked tirelessly to see his team got away with the win. Chased every ball
Kwabena Owusu(6 /10) – Had a free header to give Ghana the lead but his header hit the side net. Always dangerous on the attack. Not a bad start for him.
Samuel Owusu(7 /10) – Another majestic performance by the young chap. Skilfull, pacey and dangerous on the attack. Gave the Guinea-Bissau defense a very good run for their money. Gradually paying back the faith instilled in him by the coach.
Jordan Ayew ( 8/10)- Put Ghana ahead with a solo run through to the penalty box. Very confident on the ball. Could have score more than if not his profligacy on the goal. Always a nightmare for defender.
Substitute
Afriyie Acquah (5 /10) – Came in to stabilize the midfield and pushed Partey upfront. Did his job very well without putting a foot wrong in the game.
Caleb Ekuban (4/10)- Came in for Partey. Didn’t make any impact any impact in the game
Kwadwo Asamoah (4 /10) – Brought in late for Samuel Owusu. Didn’t make any impact in the game.
