Ghana’s 3–2 win over South Korea was a 5 goal thriller. Ghana took a surprising 2–0 lead only for South Korea to bounce back with two Cho Gue-sung goals in three minutes in the second half.  Mohammed Kudus’s two goals proved to be the difference with his match-winner in the 68th minute. With the win Ghana revived their hopes of reaching the World Cup knockout stages for only the second time.

South Korea followed that with a series of corners in the 18th minute, which included a missed overhead kick from Son Heung-min. In the 24th minute, Ghana scored against the run of play with its first shot of the match. Off a free kick, Jordan Ayew sent a dangerous cross into the box from the left wing that found his brother Andre Ayew. After bouncing around inside the area, the ball landed at the feet of Mohammed Salisu, who dispatched it into the net to give Ghana the lead.

Ten minutes later, Ghana doubled its lead behind Kudus’s first goal. Once again, Jordan Ayew created the chance with a brilliant ball into the box that Kudus headed into goal for the 2–0 lead.
