Andre Ayew reveals why Milovan Rajevac benched him against Zimbabwe in World Cup qualifiers

The Black Stars skipper has rejected suggestions that he was dropped to the bench in the game against Zimbabwe because of poor form

Ghana captain Andre Ayew has shed light on why he was benched in the Black Stars’ 1-0 win over Zimbabwe in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Harare on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old was surprisingly left on the substitute bench together with youngster Abdul Fatawu Issahaku as Milovan made two changes in his team and lanky striker Benjamin Tetteh started and Iddrisu Baba started in their places.

Although, reports suggested that Ayew was dropped because of his average performance Zimbabwe in the first leg, the Al Sadd forward says he was nursing an injury and had to take precautionary measures after a meeting with the coach.

“It was not an easy time and game for me and the other players but we are in a period where I have to be there for the team and every point is important but there are sometimes you have to up a collective decision,” Ayew told the media after the game.

“I think the boss did the right thing [by benching me in the game]. We spoke about the injury I was nursing and I’m just so happy that we have the points.

“I hope that we will continue like this against Ethiopia and the other game and I believe victory will be ours. Ghana will surely qualify for the World Cup,” he added.

Ayew came on as a substitute on the 85th minute for Ajax Amsterdam midfielder Kudus Mohammed to wind up time.

Ghana went top of the Group G table with nine points but South Africa have overtaken them following their victory over Ethiopia in the other game played later at the Soccer City Sports Stadium.

The Black Stars will face Ethiopia in another away game in Addis Ababa on November 13 before they host South Africa in the group decider four days later either at the Accra Sports Stadium, Cape Coast Sports Stadium or Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.

Zimbabwe 0-1 Ghana; Partey’s goal moves Black Stars to top of Group G

The Black Stars have moved to the top of Group G following the narrow win over the Warriors on Tuesday

Ghana defeated Zimbabwe to 1-0 complete a double over the Warriors in the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers at the National Sports on Tuesday.

The win means that Ghana have moved top of the Group G log with nine points, two points ahead of South Africa who will play Ethiopia later in the day.

The Black Stars began the game with two changes to their squad that won the first leg in Cape Coast Sports Stadium last weekend. Captain Andre Ayew and youngster Abdul Fatawu Issahaku were benched for Benjamin Tetteh and Baba Iddrisu respectively.

After an end-to-end action in the opening ten minutes of the game, Zimbabwe started to cause troubles.

Kelvin Mosunde nearly got the opening goal for Zimbabwe by the 24th after he narrowly missed a cross from Khamat Billiat.

Three minutes later, Zimbabwe had another opportunity after a poor control from Ghana goalkeeper Wollacot after a pass from Baba Iddrisu nearly fell in the way of Knowledge Musonda. However, the shot-stopper recovered on time to save the situation.

Ghana took the lead by the 31st minute through Thomas Teye Partey. The Arsenal midfielder perfectly sent in his free kick

On the stroke of halftime, Daniel Amartey nearly doubled Ghana’s lead but his last ditch effort was cleared off the line and Benjamin Tetteh’s strike from rebound went high.

After the break, Kudus Mohammed almost doubled the Black Stars lead with a long range shot. However, his effort was denied by the cross bar.

On 55th minute, Jordan Zumuru came close to equalise for Zimbabwe when he was played through by his teammate but he surprisingly fluffed the opportunity.

Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac brought on Daniel Kofi Kyereh for Kamaldeen Sulemana by the 65th minute and the St. Pauli midfielder nearly scored with his first touch of the game.

Andre Ayew, Caleb Ekuban and Samuel Owusu later came in for Kudus, Tetteh and Jordan Ayew respectively to wind up time and secure a win.

South Africa will lock horns with Ethiopia in the other group game at the Soccer City Sports Stadium in Johannesburg and a win for the Bafana Bafana will see them reclaiming the top spot.

Ghana will play Ethiopia next month away in the penultimate game in Addis Ababa before they host South Africa to decide who will make it out of the group.
