President Nana Addo
Dankwa Akufo-Addo has congratulated the Black Stars for their victory over
South Korea in Ghana’s second match of the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
A brace by Mohammed Kudos
helped the Black Stars beat South Korea 3 – 2 in their second group game on
Monday.
Mohammed Salisu scored
the other goal in the thriller at the Education City stadium.
The President described
the victory as hard-fought but deserving.
“Kudos to the Black
Stars. Hard fought, but thoroughly well-deserved victory against South Korea.
Proud of the entire team and the unalloyed support given to them by all
Ghanaians. Now to the final game against Uruguay,” Nana Akufo-Addo wrote in a
Facebook post.
Despite a brief
second-half rally from the South Koreans, Otto Addo’s side picked up all three
points to keep them in the race for a Round of 16.
Following the opening-day
loss to Portugal, the Black Stars needed to avoid defeat against the Koreans to
stave off early elimination from the tournament.
This was clearly on the
minds of the players, as a nervy start allowed the South Koreans to dominate
the early stages of the game.
