AFCON 2015: Afriyie Acquah wins Man of the Match in final match defeat to Ivory Coast

Published on: 09 February 2015

Afriyie Acquah of Ghana receives Orange Man of the Match award from the Orange Fan of the Match during the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations football Final match between Ivory Coast and Ghana at the Bata Stadium, Bata, Equatorial Guinea on 8 February 2015 .

Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah was named Man of the Match in the final of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday despite losing on penalties to the Elephants.

The new Sampdoria signing was superb in midfield and was very combative against Ivory Coast captain Yaya Toure and Serge Die.

But Acquah had an anti-climax to his game after missing one of Ghana’s missed spot-kicks during the round-robin five kicks.

Nonetheless, the 23-year-old had a wonderful tournament since starting in Ghana’s second Group C match against Algeria.
