Mohammed Kudus
Two-time AFCON (Cote d’Ivoire 2023) man of the match, Mohammed Kudus, left the competition speechless.
The West Ham star missed the first game against Cape Verde due to a hamstring injury, but impressed in the Egypt and Mozambique games.
The emotionally-stricken midfielder said in a post-match interview “…l am short of words. Thanks to everyone for the vote.”
Kudus distinguished himself in the two games – scoring twice against Egypt, his first AFCON brace and picking the man of the match prize in both games.
Ghana needed a win against Mozambique in their last Group B game to progress to the last 16 stage of the competition, but surrendered their two-goal lead with six minutes remaining.
