The skipper of the Black Stars came to his teammates rescue when he paid a whopping GHC 272, 800 ($62,000) to charter a flight for their journey back to Ghana from Congo

Asamoah Gyan was the savior of the Black Stars, but this time off the field when he coughed up a staggering amount of GHC 272, 800 ($62,000) to jet the team back to Ghana.

Ghana demolished Congo 1-5 in the reverse fixture of their 2018 FIFA World Cup in Brazzaville.

But, government of Ghana failed to honour their promise of getting the Black Stars a chartered flight for their return trip from Brazzaville to Accra.

Asamoah Gyan stepped in to rescue the situation by paying a whopping amount of GHC 272, 800 ($62,000) for a chartered flight to Accra.

It was a big sigh of relief to the playing body of the team, since they would have come by a commercial flight which would have delayed the reporting time to their various clubs overseas.
