Ghana Captain Asamoah Gyan has commended his colleagues on their 1-0 triumph over Cape Verde in an international friendly.
“I must commend the technical team and the playing body for raising the flag of Ghana high. I am indeed proud of you, well done and let’s keep up the spirit,†Gyan said in a statement.
Mubarak Wakaso scored the only goal of the match as the Ghanaians posted the narrow win over the Black Sharks at the Lisbon University stadium on Wednesday.

“I wish to thank all who supported the Gyan family during our trying moments, I on behalf of  my  family say we are  indeed grateful for your support,†the release added.
