Andre Ayew and the black stars have dedicated Ghana’s impressive win over Sudan to the late former President Jerry John Rawlings.
Former President Jerry John Rawlings died in the early hours of Thursday, few hours to the Black Stars’ 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sudan at the Cape Coast stadium. The sudden death of the former President left the entire nation heartbroken.
A minute silence was observed before kickoff with the Black Stars players wearing black armbands.
“I think we fought hard to get a win in honour of the late Jerry John Rawlings. We know the history and his contribution to the growth of Ghana so the win is dedicated to him,” Ayew said after the game.
“These are hard times for the family but we wish them well. May God comfort and bless them.”
The Black Stars captain led by example, scoring two goals to secure three points. Both goals were absolutely brilliant.
Black Stars remain top of Group C with 9 points after playing three games.
