Mohammed
Kudus scored twice to help Ghana beat South Korea 3-2 in a World Cup Group H
thriller at a rocking Education City Stadium on Monday, keeping the Black Stars
in contention for a place in the last 16.
Against
the run of play, Ghana went ahead in the 24th minute when Mohammed Salisu
struck from close range after South Korea failed to clear a free kick and
Mohammed Kudus add a second with a glancing header to give the African side a
2-0 halftime lead.
South
Korea came roaring back, however, with two daring Cho Gue-sung headers three
minutes apart to level the seesaw match.
Kudus
grabbed the winner in the 68th minute when he was left unmarked in the penalty
area and slotted home past a diving Kim Seung-gyu.
Ghana,
the lowest-ranked team in the tournament at 61st, joined Portugal at the top of
the group standings on three points with Uruguay and South Korea on one.
Portugal and Uruguay play later on Monday.
