TUE, 12 SEP 2023 LISTEN

Jordan Ayew reached a milestone in Ghana’s 3-1 win over Liberia earlier today in an international friendly game at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Crystal Palace striker made his 92nd appearance for the Black Stars and scored in the win to become the fourth most-capped Black Stars player in history.

The 32-year-old made his 91st appearance to tie John Paintsil’s record in Ghana’s 2-1 win over Central African Republic in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier last week at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Ayew was introduced in the 61st minute as a replacement for fellow goal scorer Ernest Nuamah and scored in the 82nd minute to put Ghana up 3-0. Ghana however ended the game 3-1.

The win caps a brilliant week for Jordan Ayew who helped Ghana qualify to the AFCON for the 10th consecutive time and celebrated his 32nd birthday.

Jordan is in line to feature in Palace’s English Premier League game against Aston Villa on Saturday, September 16 after starting the season on a strong note with three assists in five games.
