The Newcastle United player, on loan from Chelsea gave Ghana width and his tricks were a constant threat to the defense of the Cranes.<\/p>\n

He controlled a perfectly-weighted pass and drifted to his left but his powerful shot grabbed by the dependable Uganda goalkeeper Denis Onyango in the 86th minute.<\/p>\n

Andre Ayew scored the only goal of the game, converting from the spot after Asamoah Gyan was brought down in the box.<\/p>\n
