Black Stars forward Jordan Ayew marked his 100th cap for the team with an incredible hat-trick. A calmly taken penalty in the 6th minute, a well executed header in the 60th minute and clinical touch in the 69th minute climaxed a wonderful night for the forward against the Central African Republic.
Known for his composure under pressure, Ayew expertly made the game his, showcasing the skill and poise that have become his trademarks. His exploits during his recent appearances both for the World Cup and African Cup of Nations qualifiers have been phenomenal reiterating the reason for his continuous call up to the team.
Ayew’s latest achievement not only highlights his personal success but also adds to an impressive scoring record. With eight goals in his last five games, the 32-year-old forward has been in scintillating form, consistently finding the back of the net and providing crucial contributions for his team. His goals against the Central African Republic, a team renowned for its tenacity and competitive spirit, underscores his capacity to perform on the international stage.
The celebrated forward’s golden touch was crucial once again in Ghana’s recent fixture against Mali in Bamako. On Thursday, June 6, 2024, Ayew displayed his knack for scoring in pivotal moments by netting the vital goal that secured a 2-1 victory for Ghana.
His performance in Bamako not only helped the Black Stars clinch an important win but also demonstrated his ability to rise to the occasion when his team needed him. Ayew’s influence on the pitch remains invaluable, inspiring confidence among his teammates and fans.
