Harrison Afful - 6/10
Guided in a few teasing crosses from the right-hand side, but didn't quite offer his usual cutting edge

Was an aerial threat from any free-kicks or corners. He had little problems to worry about as the Ethiopians failed to pose major threats upfront

Slid in to make a couple of good interceptions deep inside his own penalty area, as the hosts battled to a huge win. He capped the game with wonderful goal - his 6th in Black Stars shirt
