What looked like a dream start turned nightmarish for Ghana striker Kwame Opoku as he had a debut to forget for the Black Stars.

Opoku was handed a start in his first appearance for the senior national football team in and AFCON 2021 qualifier against South Africa.

Opoku was deployed in an unfamiliar role on the wings in a setup that mostly lined up in a 4-3-3.

It was obvious that this affected his play and the USM Alger bound striker struggled to deliver a solid performance.

After failing to uplift his game,Opoku was hauled off at half time and replaced by Osman Bukari.
