Ghana captain, Andre Ayew, has been honoured after making his 100th international appearance during Sunday’s World Cup qualifier against South Africa.
Ayew marked his 100th appearance in style after scoring the winning goal against Bafana Bafana.
The 31-year-old forward converted from the penalty spot in the first half to ensure Ghana qualified for the play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers.
The Black Stars finished Group G with the same points as South Africa but edged Hugo Broos’ side due to a superior goal scored.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Ministry of Youth and Sports celebrated Ayew for reaching his latest milestone.
