Ghanaian prodigy Jerry Afriyie scored a brilliant goal during Ghana\u2019s last game in the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Niger on November 18, 2024.<\/p>\n Afriyie tapped in a cross from the edge of the box in an instinctive finish to announce his presence in the team.<\/p>\n With the goal serving as the equalizer, head coach Otto Addo ran onto the pitch to hug Afriyie for his sublime finish that levelled the match.<\/p>\n Afriyie\u2019s impressive performances on the domestic and international stages earned him this honour. He played a pivotal role in Ghana\u2019s triumph at the 2024 African Games, where he emerged as the tournament\u2019s top scorer.<\/p>\n More recently, he led the Ghana U20 team to qualify for the U20 Africa Cup of Nations, claiming the Goal King and Best Player awards at the WAFU Zone B Championship in Togo.<\/p>\n This historic call-up highlights the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) growing commitment to scouting and promoting talent from lower leagues.<\/p>\n Ghana has failed to qualify for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco after finishing fourth in Group F with three points from six games in the qualifiers.<\/p>\n Watch Jerry Afriyie’s goal below:<\/b><\/p>\n This guy!
