Kudus follows the footsteps of Ahmed Musa, silences Nigerian haters as Ghana beat South Korea.

Ghana recorded a 3-2 victory against South Korea in a matchday two Group H 2022 FIFA World Cup fixture played on Monday, November 28, 2022.

The Black Stars of Ghana suffered a 3-2 loss to a Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal in their group opener and were fighting for their continuation in Qatar against South Korea.

It was a bright start for the Black Stars of Ghana as Mohammed Salisu scored in the 21st minute.

In the 34th minute, Mohammed Kudus converted a ball through to him by Jordan Ayew for Ghana's second.

The Black Stars took a comfortable two-goal cushion to the break. South Korea would respond in the second half, Cho Gue-sung pulled one back in the 58th minute assisted by Lee Kang-in.

 Three minutes later South Korea were level as Gue-sung scored his second assisted by Kim Jin-su.

With the score at 2-2, both teams pressed in search of a winner, and in the 68th minute against the run of play, Ghana went back in front as Qudus converted a cross by Inaki Williams for his second of the game.

Ghana held on to their lead to record a much-needed three points and give their World Cup hopes a massive boost.
