Ibrahim Ayew celebrating with the trophy
Former Black Stars player, Ibrahim Ayew, played a pivotal role as Lincoln Red Imps clinched their 29th Gibraltar Football League title with a commanding 2-0 victory over Manchester 62.
On a historic night for the club, Ayew’s presence in midfield provided calm and authority as the Imps secured their fifth consecutive league crown, a streak that dates back to 2019.
The former Ghana international was instrumental in controlling the tempo, helping the team absorb pressure and maintain their defensive shape during crucial moments of the match.
While Spanish forward Kike grabbed the headlines with a clinical brace, it was the cohesive team performance, anchored by Ayew, Bernardo Lopes, and Jesus Toscano, that laid the foundation for the win.
Lincoln’s backline was once again impenetrable, registering their fifth straight clean sheet in the Championship Group, a testament to their discipline and tactical awareness.
Ayew’s impact goes beyond his defensive duties. His experience, professionalism, and leadership continue to make him an integral part of Gibraltar’s most decorated football side.
After an impressive season with 29 appearances in all competitions, the 37-year-old has further solidified his importance at the club, adding yet another title to an already illustrious career that has seen him feature in Egypt, Europe, and the Ghana Premier League.
