During the first half, Ghana was leading 2-0, with goals scored by Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu and Ajax’s Mohammed Kudus.
However, Gue-Sung Cho equalized twice in three minutes after the break before Ajax’s 22-year-old Kudus scored the game-winning goal in the 68th minute.
The Black Stars are now set to take on Uruguay in the final Group H match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
