Ghana pick first win as Kudus scores twice

Ghana made Africa proud by defeating South Korea 3-2 at the Education City Stadium on Monday.

Following a dominant start by the Koreans, Ghana was able to withstand the pressure and go ahead to take a two-goal lead before halftime thanks to Mohammed Salisu and Mohammed Kudus.

South Korea crawled their way back in the second half with two headers from Cho Guesung as they threatened to stage another stunning World Cup comeback.

However, Ghana counted on Kudus once again, who delivered a side-footed effort in the corner in the 68th minute.

South Korea made several attempts to draw level in the final minutes, invading the Ghanaian defence with dangerous crosses but all ended up away from the net.
