Jordan Ayew booed off by Baba Yara crowd during Ghana’s 0-0 draw with Nigeria

Black Stars striker, Jordan Ayew was booed off the pitch by fans at the Baba Yara Stadium in Ghana’s 0-0 draw with Nigeria on Friday night.

The forward has scored 18 goals for the national team but has not found the net for the Stars in a year, since he scored against Sao Tome and Principe in 2021.

There were some calls for him to be dropped from the squad after an underwhelming AFCON campaign but new head coach, Otto Addo kept faith in the Crystal Palace forward.

Not only did he call him up despite Jordan recently testing positive for COVID-19, the striker started the first leg of the 2022 World Cup Qualifier against Nigeria at the Baba Yara stadium.

Despite a typically energetic start, a visibly tiring Jordan started to give away freekicks in the first half.

However, what irked fans in the stadium more was the fact that Jordan’s set-pieces were extremely poor, wasting good chances and positions the Black Stars could exploit.

This continue well into the second half with fans getting more and more agitated as the game wore on with no goals.

Things came to a head in the 90th minute when Ayew was replaced by Kwasi Okyere Wriedt.

The forward went off to a chorus of boos from the watching crowd at the Baba Yara Stadium, with his brother Andre also looking on.

On social media, the response to Jordan’s performance was not much more positive.
