English Premier League club Crystal Palace was quick to express its admiration for striker Jordan Ayew's impressive performance against the Central African Republic in the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The club took to its official X page to laud Ayew's sensational hat-trick, which played a crucial role in Ghana's 4-3 victory over the Central African Republic.
The post, which was accompanied by three applause emojis and a Ghana flag, simply read "Jordan Ayew 👏👏👏 A hat-trick and a win 🇬🇭", reflecting the club's pride in Ayew's achievement.
The victory in Kumasi allowed Ghana to continue its winning form in Group I of the World Cup qualifiers, following a mixed start with one win and one loss in the first two matches. The campaign began with a 1-0 victory over Madagascar in Kumasi, but the team then suffered a 1-0 defeat to Comoros in Moroni.
However, Ghana bounced back with a 2-1 victory over Mali on June 6th, with goals from Ernest Nuamah and Jordan Ayew. The team's momentum continued in its match against the Central African Republic on Monday, June 10, 2024, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Ayew's hat-trick, along with a goal from winger Fatawu Issahaku, secured Ghana's victory and its position at the top of Group I with nine points after four games.
