A remarkable story centering on Ghana star Andre Ayew has come to the fore late on Saturday evening.
Ayew, a little over 24 hours ago, took centre stage, as his nation were sent packing from the World Cup at the group stage.
This came owing to a two-goal defeat at the hands of Uruguay.
Hitman Ayew, for his part, was afforded the opportunity to put Ghana in front inside 20 minutes at the Al Janoub Stadium, only to fluff his lines from the penalty spot.
