Appiah was named man of the match in the 3-0 quarter-final win over Guinea where he scored a goal and provided an assist.

The 24-year-old on loan Cambridge United striker hopes the awards could boost his chances of earning more caps for Ghana in the future.

"I won the man of the match in the quarter-final, and in the semi-final I won the fair play award," said Appiah.

"After the final I got presented with the fair player of the tournament. I'm not sure how the award is decided on, but it's always nice to get personal accolades."
