Ghana captain Jordan Ayew opened the scoring for the Black Stars in the 6th minute when a left-footed shot he delivered outside the box of Trinidad & Tobago beat the goalkeeper into the net.
Youngster Razak Simpson connected a corner delivered by Ayew with his head into the net in the 11th minute, scoring his first-ever international goal for his country and Ghana’s second.
The West Africans continued to play some delightful football, and a build-up from their half of the field found Ayew, who gave an assist to Mohammed Fuseini Gadafi to also score his first-ever goal for his country, ending the first half 3-0 in favor of the Black Stars.
Back into the second half, Ghana continued to pile pressure on their opponents, and a brilliant play from the flank saw Lawrence Agyekum’s shot pass through the legs of the Trinidad & Tobago goalkeeper for the fourth goal of the game.
