Jordan Ayew converted a first-half penalty as he inspired Ghana to a 3-1 victory over Sao Tome and Principe in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Sunday evening.
After missing the team’s trip to South Africa due to coronavirus restrictions, Ayew immediately made his presence felt upon his return, playing alongside brother Andre and Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey in a strong side.
After having an early penalty shout denied, Ayew found space in behind and raced into the visitors’ penalty area only to be brought down. This time, the referee pointed to the spot.
