Ghana-Mali match: Dede Ayew voted man-of-the-match

After helping Ghana to beat Mali 2-0 in Franceville at the 2012 Afcon, Andre Dede Ayew was voted the Man-of-the-Match.

Dede scored Ghana’s second goal after Asamoah Gyan connected a free-kick in the second half of the game.

“I am proud to pick up this award,” Andre said, according to the Ghana FA’s website.

“I want to thank the players and coach for helping me win this award,” he said.

The Olympique Marseille’s key player dedicated the award to the entire Ghanaian team.

“I dedicate this award to the whole team. I didn’t do it alone but had the help of my colleagues to win it,” the website quoted Dede as saying.
