Kotoko centre-back Abdul Gamiu put up splendid performance on Black Stars debut

Asante Kotoko centre-back, Ishmail Abdul Ganiu scored full marks on his debut for the Black Stars in a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa.

The 24-year-old defender was very impressive on his debut for Ghana in a 1-1 draw with South Africa at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on Wednesday, March 25, 2021.

The Porcupine Warriors guardsman stood tall at the heart of the defence for CK Akonnor’s charges despite the average performance from the National team on the day.

His fantastic output saw many Ghanaians took to social media platforms to hail his performance.

Ganiu was calm on the ball and displayed his talent in a well-composed way at the back of the defense of the Ghana team throughout the game.

He made some great blocks in the match and helped the Stars to secure a vital point on the road to book their 2022 Afcon ticket.

Ganiu lasted the entire duration of the match as Ghana drew 1-1 after taking the lead early in the second half through a nice finish from Ajax Amsterdam star Mohammed Kudus.

Ghana thus qualifies for the Total Afcon competition in Cameroon next year with the final qualifier to be played against Sao Tome and Principe.
