Afcon 2019: Ghana could have lost against Benin - Jonathan Mensah

Ghana defender Jonathan Mensah is delighted to see Ayew brothers, Andre and Jordan up and running at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt.

The siblings were the Black Stars' heroes in the Group F opener at the Ismailia Stadium as they netted to ensure Ghana came from behind to end the first-half 2-1 up.

Mickael Pote, who registered Benin's opener in under two minutes, however, struck again in the 63rd minute to force a 2-2 draw.

"We could have lost the game so a point isn't bad for the team," Mensah told Goal after the game.
