Cercle Brugge midfielder Francis Abu has expressed his excitement after playing his first Black Stars game against the Cranes of Uganda in the FIFA international break matches.
Abu’s late addition to the squad made the most of his opportunity, impressing coaches during training sessions leading up to the match.
Given a starting position at Stade de Marrakech, Francis displayed composure and skill on the ball, showcasing his ability to dictate play effectively.
His adeptness at transitioning from defense to attack and vice versa stood out, earning him praise for his performance.
Despite being substituted in the 65th minute to bolster the defense, Francis left a lasting impression on the field.
”Dreams do come true. I’m very grateful and honoured to represent my motherland.” Abu wrote on social media.
Ghana, however, couldn’t hold onto their lead, conceding a late goal to Uganda, extending their winless streak to seven games.
For Francis, 22, the debut marked a significant milestone in his career, especially considering his limited playing time at Cercle Brugge this season due to injury.
His promising display for Ghana suggests a bright future ahead, both at club and international levels.
