GHANASoccernet.com brings you the player ratings in Ghana's slim win over Kenya.
Richard Ofori 8/10 - Called into action on several occasions but was a shield in post and kept a clean sheet.
Daniel Opare 6/10- A bit jittery and quite unsure of his play. Had one or two crosses right but was largely ineffective on the right flank.
Lumor Agbenyenu 7.5/10 - Had an outstanding game and combined well with Christian Atsu on the left flank. Ghana's best in the game came from the left side.
Kassim Nuhu 7/10- Calm and composed. Didn't get into too much of trouble with the Kenyan attack but was caught flat footed sometimes.
John Boye 6/10- Looks to lack a bit of pace and was in trouble in one on one situations.
Mubarak Wakaso 7/10- Tireless worker in the middle. Won a lot of duel and spread his passes well.
Andre Ayew 6.5/10- Got a goal ruled out and was involved in some midfield battle but was not at his vintage best.
Thomas Partey 6/10- Largely missing in the game. Could not exert his authority in the game.
Jordan Ayew 6/10- Had a nightmare of a game. Could not trouble the defence of Kenya. Made some good runs and created spaces for Atsu but it was a difficult day for the Crystal Palace forward.
Emmanuel Boateng 5/10- Had the most difficult game in a Black Stars shirt. Struggle to link up with strike partner Jordan and had to be replaced by Caleb Ekuban.
Christian Atsu 8/10- Phenomenal performance. Had a good game and was the man of the match in the game. Created chances and was a handful for the Kenyan defence.
