-Ati Zigi 6
Couldn’t put up the same performance he exhibited against Mali. His defense let him down as they were very porous
Alidu Seidu 4
Offered basically nothing before being subbed in the second half.
Gideon Mensah 5
Was most of the time run over and also caught out of position. He managed to set up Ayew’s second goal with a fine cross.
Mohammed Salisu 4
He and his defensive partner Djiku were caught off guard on numerous occasions as the Mafouta hit a hat trick
Alexander Djiku 5
A pale shadow of himself , he failed to live up to the high standard he has set though he made two good clearances.
Salis Samed 5
Was virtually non in existence as a cover for the back four allowing the CAR attackers to have an easy route. He made some decent tackles though
Thomas Partey 4
As usual, he ghosted again in Black Stars jersey he was virtually not in existence.
Mohammed Kudus 5
Over elaboration on his part made Geooffrey Kondogbia to steal the ball and set up Louis Mafouta for the equalizer. He wasn’t that bright on the day though he gave some key passes.
Kamaldeen Sulemana 4
He was just running and dribbling needlessly, his final product was always poor.
Fatawu Issahaku 7
Made some good runs, scored a brilliant to make it 3-2 for Ghana. His ability to hold the ball was excellent.
Jordan Ayew 9.5
He saved Ghana on the day with a superb hat trick. Jordan was clinical as he buried all the three chances he got.
