Ghana doesn't have a creative problem, our build-up today had more urgency moving the ball straight to the midfield to initiate attacks against Qatar with a lot of through balls to the strikers. The wingers didn't hesitate to take on defenders and to cross the ball into the 18-yard box, this led to Tarique's goal.

Jordan Ayew's lack of goals continues despite his two assists this evening against Qatar. The former Aston Villa striker hasn't scored for a while for Crystal Palace in 13 games.
