Former Ghana international Anthony Baffoe, has taken to social media to commend Black Meteors striker Emmanuel Yeboah following his impressive display in his team’s victory against Congo in the Caf 23 Cup of Nations game on Sunday 25th June, 2023.
Yeboah, came off the bench to score two goals as Ghana defeat Congo in their first game at the tournament. The striker’s instant explosive performance in the second half, has caught the attention of the former Caf deputy General Secretary.
In a comment on Twitter, Baffoe, congratulated the entire team, and went ahead to praise the young striker.
”Congratulations and well done you came and made the difference. Keep going”
The game was full of fireworks in the early exchanges with Ghana being the better side for the first 15 minutes of the match with total control in possession.
Congo took over with brilliant display and pushed Ghana to do more of defending which left captain Daniel Afriyie Barnieh isolated at the top without any service to feed on.
Ghana’s goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad was tested on three separate occasions by in the first 45 minutes as they ended the first half as the better team.
Before taking to the field in the second half of the match, Ghana’s gaffer Ibrahim Tanko made substitutions with Emmanuel Yeboah providing an assist for the opening game which was scored by Ernest Nuamah.
Yeboah got his name on the score sheet fourteen minutes to the end of the match with a fine goal from inside the box and underneath of the goalkeeper.
Ghana were awarded a spot kick minutes later but Arko Mensah missed twice from the spot after a retake before Yeboah scored the second retake to make it 3-0 after Mensah has missed twice.
Congo Brazzaville scored two late goals to scare Ghana but Meteors held on to win 3-2 ahead of Tuesday’s clash against Morocco.
