Hearts of goalkeeper Benjamin Asare had a great debut for the Black Stars having kept clean sheets in his first two matches and has thanked captain Jordan Ayew for his words of encouragement during his time with the senior national team
The four-time African champions despite missing out on the 2025 AFCON, have given a very good account of themselves in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and are currently on top of Group I with a five-point lead after six matches.
Ghana destroyed Chad by an emphatic 5-0 last Friday in Accra in round 5, before subsequently humbling second-place Madagascar by 3-0 last night in Al Hoceima, Morocco, to brighten their qualification chances.
Asare, who is looking forward to cementing his position in the Black Stars, has lauded Jordan Ayew's leadership as he was a source of motivation to him during his spell with the national team.
"Special thanks to Jordan Ayew- he motivated me all the time and told me that, despite being a local player, I can do this."
