Jonas Adjetey scored his first senior goal for Ghana as the Black Stars defeated Somalia 2-0 in Thursday's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Essipong Sports Stadium.
The 22-year-old Wolfsburg defender gave Ghana the lead in the 45th+2 minute, heading home from a corner kick just before the break.
Felix Afena-Gyan sealed the win with Ghana's second goal, scoring in consecutive matches for the national team; having notched in Ghana's previous game he featured in.
Captain Jordan Ayew had earlier missed a penalty as the Black Stars searched for the opening goal.
Adjetey's strike was a major highlight of the win, which ended Ghana's eight-match winless run in AFCON qualifiers under interim coach Kim Lars Björkegren.
The young defender will hope to build on his first international goal as Ghana continue their quest to qualify for the 2027 continental showpiece.
