Goals from John Boye and Andre Ayew handed Ghana the vital win having gone behind early in the game to a Mandla Masango strike.

Agyemang-Badu who came on as a second half substitute to good effect says the team couldn’t have been denied the win for the sheer determination they showed on the field of play.

“We played the game with a lot of determination, as you could see we played most of the second half in their half and we got the result for it,” he told MTNFootball.com.

Ghana thus progresses as winners of Group C with the win over South Africa.
