What Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew did as Ghana defeat South Korea in World Cup thriller

Crystal Palace winger Jordan Ayew played a big part in Ghana’s World Cup win against South Korea.

After an unlucky 3-2 loss against Portugal in their opener, the Black Stars got off the mark in Group H after another five-goal thriller. South Korea scored two goals in three minutes to draw level after Southampton’s Mohammed Salisu and Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus put Ghana two goals ahead.

However, Kudus would secure all three points after scoring his second goal of the game in the 68th minute. Jordan Ayew replaced his brother Andre to play only 13 minutes of the opener against Portugal but was included in the starting XI against South Korea. The Palace winger was involved in the build-up to all three goals.
