Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew became the first brothers to score in the same AFCON game when Ghana defeated DR Congo in quarter finals and can they extend the record by scoring in back to back games

Andre Ayew and his junior brother, Jordan Ayew can write yet another history by emerging as the first brothers to score in back to back games for the Black Stars, as Ghana face Cameroon in the semi-finals of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.

Jordan Ayew finished off perfectly in a world class fashion, before Andre Ayew scored the match winner from the spot kick after M’poku had lput DR Congo on the level pegging.

They ended up becoming the first brothers to score for the Black Stars in the same AFCON game and after Avram Grant handed both players a starting place in his team expectations are very high. The big question is can the Aye brothers do the unthinkable by saving the Black Stars yet again in another crunchy encounter against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.

The game will be played on Thursday at 7:00pm in Franceville as the two second most successful nations in AFCON do battle for a place in the grand finale.

Egypt booked a place in the final on Wednesday when they defeated Burkina Faso 4-3 on penalties, after 120 minutes of action attraction had ended one all in Libreville.
