Thomas Freeman Yeboah 19:58 - 11 October 2016

The Black Stars skipper, who came on as a late substitute was mobbed by the fans at the Moses Mabhida Sports Stadium when the Black Stars drew 1-1 with South Africa.

Mubarak Wakaso, who emerged as the Man of the Match, shot Ghana into the lead in the 38th minute, before Ayanda Patosi drew level for the hosts with a shot from the edge of the box in the 51st minute.

Asamoah Gyan replaced Mubarak Wakaso and was mobbed by the fans, with some trying to climb the wire mesh to have a handshake with the Black Stars skipper.

Asamoah Gyan six year ago scored three goals during the 2010 FIFA World Cup staged in South Africa, but missed an extra-time penalty kick against Uruguay in the quarter-finals.
