Ghana striker Kwesi Appiah marked his Africa Cup of Nations debut on Tuesday evening in the comeback 2-1 win over South Africa.

The on-loan Cambridge United player replaced Jordan Ayew on 71 minutes and nearly snatched the match winner after four minutes.

Captain Asamoah Gyan teed up Appiah whose 18-yard shot clipped the side post after goalkeeper Brilliant Khuzwayo had a fingertip to the ball.

Appiah was hoping to play a part in Ghana’s campaign at the Nations Cup and when called upon he did well to create a huge impression.

The 24-year-old could earn some game time in the quarter-final where they will meet the second placed team Group D.
