Black Stars coach Otto Addo saw an "excellent" performance filled with crucial, unrewarded work in Antoine Semenyo's output when the team secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Mali in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
In a passionate defence of his striker, Addo shifted the focus from tangible output to the intangible efforts that often go unnoticed by fans.
Addo detailed the specifics: relentless pressing, selfless channel runs, and physically engaging center-backs to disrupt their rhythm.
"He was the lone fighter up front," the coach remarked, suggesting Semenyo's battle was primarily a physical and tactical one that laid the foundation for the team's victory, even if he wasn't the one to apply the finishing touch.
Ghana will however shift focus to their last two games against Central African Republic and Comoros as they aim for four points to seal a place for the next World Cup.
