Kudus

Black Stars playmaker Mohammed Kudus who emerged as the player of the match in Ghana’s 3-2 win over Korea Republic on Monday, has dedicated his award to the entire team.

The Ajax sensation scored twice as Ghana emerged on top from a thrilling encounter with the Asian side.

The Black Stars appeared in line for a Group H cruise when they led 2-0 at half-time. However, Korea recovered from the two-goal deficit in the second half of the game through Cho Gue-sung, in the 58th and 61st minutes of the encounter.

Kudus added to his first-half strike with winning goal as the Black Stars climbed above their Asian rivals ahead of Friday’s closing fixtures.

‘’I think we played together as a team and we all deserve credit for this win and the award’’ he told ghanafa.org after the game.

‘’We just have to continue to work hard in the next game to get another victory to take us to the next round of the tournament’’.

”The matches are not easy, all the teams are tough but I have always said we will take the games one after the other and so we will see what happens in the next game on Friday’’.

”We are happy to win today, we will go back home, rest well and prepare for the next match against Uruguay’’ Kudus added.

Ghana will try to book their place in the next round when they go head-to-head with Uruguay on Friday, while South Korea must bounce back when they take on Portugal.
