Former West Ham United forward Andre Ayew almost caused a shock in the 2022 World Cup in their opening match with Portugal.
The 2016 European Championship winners kicked off their campaign at this year’s World Cup with a 3-2 win against African nation Ghana.
The game was very tight for the first hour in Group H. However, shortly after the hour mark, Cristiano Ronaldo won a controversial penalty after going down following contact from Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu. Despite a seemingly soft foul, the penalty was given and Ronaldo, who recently left Manchester United by mutual consent, scored. It made him the first player in history to score at five different World Cups.
