Ghana Black Stars Get $50,000 After Finishing 3rd In Kirin Cup

Ghana has been rewarded with an amount of $50,000 for finishing third in the 2022 Kirin Cup in Japan.

The Black Stars finished third in the four-nation tournament after beating Chile 3-1 on penalties following a goalless draw in regulation time on Tuesday.

Otto Addo’s side ended the game with nine men, but still managed to hold their own against their South American opponents.

This was after Alidu Seidu and Mubarak Wakaso were both red-carded in the second half as the game extended into penalty shootouts.

However, goalkeeper Manaf Nurudeen produced a stunning performance in the shootout to help Ghana triumph 3-1 on penalties.

The KAS Eupen goalkeeper saved two penalties as Jordan Ayew, Kudus Mohammed and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku scored theirs to secure victory for Ghana.
