The 49-year-old who led Ghana to its fourth World Cup appearance in Qatar mastermind’s the team’s first win of the competition at the Education City Sports Stadium in Al Rayyan.

It was a highly entertaining game which produced five goals with Mohammed Kudus adjudged best player of the match.

Mohammed Kudus also became the first Ghanaian player to score a brace in a World Cup game.

The Ajax midfield scored both Ghana’s second and third goal in the 34th and 68th minute before he was substituted.

The win means Ghana go into the final group game against Uruguay in need of a win or a draw to progress to the next round of the competition.
