'Nothing comes easy' - Andre Ayew reacts after Ghana's narrow win over Ethiopia in World Cup qualifier

The Black Stars laboured to a slim win over the East Africans on Friday to go top of Group G ahead of South Africa and Zimbabwe

Ghana captain Andre Ayew has conceded it was not an easy outing despite claiming a vital 1-0 win over Ethiopia in their 2022 World Cup qualifier on Friday.

A solitary strike from Mubarak Wakaso was enough to hand the Black Stars maximum points over Walya Antelopes in Group G at Cape Coast Stadium on Friday. Ghana coach CK Akonnor put faith in China-based Wakaso and Real Mallorca man Mohammed Iddrisu Baba to marshal the midfield in the absence of the first-choice pair of Arsenal’s Thomas Partey and Ajax’s Mohammed Kudus.

It was the former who repaid the manager's faith in him by scoring an all-important goal for the West Africans.
