Ghana avenged an earlier group stage defeat to the Super Eagles and winning $100 000 in prize-money
West Ham United midfielder Andre Ayew and his captain Asamoah Gyan were among the first to send out congratulatory messages to the Black Stars B after they hammered Nigeria 4-1 to win the WAFU Cup of Nations.
The home-based Black Stars won the regional championship for the second time since its inception and played some scintillating football along the way.
Clearly, the victory softens the blow of missing out on the CHAN and that painful home defeat to Burkina Faso at home.
Seidu Saliu, who was included in the team but had to withdraw due to an injury, general sectary of the professional footballers association were all among people who sent out their laudatory messages to the players.
Congratulations to our local Black stars for winning the WAFU cup ????????????????????????great guys God Bless u all for ur achievement for our country???????????????? pic.twitter.com/kxfJyRjwxp
