Ghana midfielder Mubarak Wakaso was satisfied with the performance of the team in Tuesday’s 2-0 triumph over the Wild Dogs at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

After an unconvincing showing in the opening 45 minutes, the Black Stars burst to life in the second half to put away a stubborn Guinea-Bissau side.

Jordan Ayew broke the deadlock few seconds after the restart with a delightful finish before Partey sealed the victory in the 72nd minute.

The result sees Ghana top Group F on goal difference ahead of Cameroon who played out barren draw with Benin in the other simultaneous kick-off in Ismailia.

“We had a difficult game, but we knew were going to face a strong team. There is no small nation in this tournament as you can see. So I congratulate my teammates and colleagues and every member of the team. We will keep on working hard to keep ourselves in this competition” the Deportivo Alaves told reporters after the match.

Ghana face Tunisia at the Ismailia Stadium on Monday in a mouthwatering last 16 tie.
