Black Stars forward Jordan Ayew has been vilified in recent months by fans who feel he doesn’t warrant a place in the team.
Despite being one of the more experienced players in Ghana’s squad for the 2022 World Cup, there were calls prior to the tournament for Jordan to be dropped.
The Crystal Palace forward, came off the bench in Ghana’s first group game against Portugal and was at fault for at least one of Portugal’s goals.
In spite of his recent form, Jordan has had his moments with the national team, including one of his best against one of Ghana’s opponents at the next World Cup.
The last time the Black Stars faced South Korea in an international friendly in 2014, Jordan Ayew was on fire, scoring a hat-trick as Ghana ran out 4-0 winners.
Jordan came on as a sixth-minute substitute for the injured Majeed Waris and proceeded to wreak havoc.
He was on target just five minutes later bundling in a cross from his brother Andre.
He added further goals in the 53rd – a long-range effort and the 89th minutes – a poacher’s finish in the box.
Jordan might not start today’s match but he has certainly shown that he knows the path to goal against this particular opponent.
Take a look at his goals below:
