Abdul Aziz Issah also enjoyed an impressive tournament, delivering consistent performances and finding the back of the net against Korea Republic, Mexico and Colombia.

Despite missing out on a place in the top six, Ghana’s impressive record of eight victories, 44 goals and a seventh-place finish represents a strong showing at the inaugural FIFA U-15 World Cup and Festival.

The Black Comets will return home with valuable international experience and plenty of positives from their memorable campaign in Azerbaijan, having demonstrated the potential of Ghana’s next generation of football talents.
