Ghana winger Christian Atsu has expressed his delight at helping the Black Stars to secure qualification to next year's African Cup of Nations following their 2-0 win over Mauritius on Sunday.

Andre Ayew opened the scoring on 71 minutes before the on-loan Malaga star finished off Baba Rahman's assist from inside the box to seal the win three minutes later.

Atsu posted on his Instagram page: "Great game from the team. We are through to the 2017 Afcon. Happy to be on the score sheet. Glory be to God and thanks for your support."

The Group H encounter was played at the Stade Anjalay in the Mauritian city of Belle Vue Maurel.
