AFC Ajax Amsterdam star Kudus Mohammed is the first ever player to score a brace for Ghana’s Black Stars in FIFA World Cup history since Ghana’s debut in 2006 in Germany.
The Dutch-based left-footed playmaker wrote his name into the history books of Ghana when he scored two goals against the Taegeuk Warriors of South Korea on Monday afternoon at the Education City Stadium in Al Wakrah.
Kudus scored the third goal of the match to put Ghana 2-0 up before the half time whistle with a very clever header from Crystal Palace FC forward Jordan Ayew.
The 21-year-old Ghanaian attacking midfielder also added his second goal of the match in the second half after the Koreans had equalized with a calm finish to give Ghana their first win in six games at the World Cup since the win of United States of America in 2010 in South Africa.
Before his brace, no Ghana International had ever achieved that feet at the World stage for the Black Stars despite having players like Asamoah Gyan, Sulley Muntari, Michael Essien, Stephen Appiah amongst others playing at the Mundial.
He inked his name into the history books of Ghana after his two goals against the Asian powerhouse and would be hoping for more at the World Cup as Ghana plays Uruguay on Friday, December 2.
Despite playing just two games at the World Cup, the youngster is the third top scorer for Ghana with two goals and just one behind Andre Ayew and four behind Asamoah Gyan.
