The "African" excitement continued on Monday in the 2022 World Cup, with the "Black Stars" being the champions of the night, achieving a hard-fought victory over South Korea in Group H. The Ghanaian national team secured its first victory in the World Cup with a score of 3-2 against South Korea, in a match that was as thrilling as the previous encounter between Cameroon and Serbia.
Ghana maintained its hopes of qualification with an important win against the organized Korean side, with Ajax star Mohammed Kudus shining in the match. Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu scored the first goal for Ghana, and Kudus added the second. While it seemed like the game was secured for Ghana, Korean forward Cho Geu-seong scored two goals within three minutes. However, Kudus had the final word, responding with a third goal in the 69th minute, capping off the wonderful offensive effort of the Ghanaians.
The South Korean team now finds itself in a "quandary," as they must secure a victory against Portugal in their final match. Meanwhile, Ghana may only need a draw against Uruguay in their last game, depending on the result of the match between Portugal and Uruguay held that evening.
