The Black Stars of Ghana are being hailed on social media after beating The Warriors of Zimbabwe 3-1 at the Cape Coast Stadium.
Two late goals from Thomas Partey and Andre Ayew ensured that coach Milovan Rajevac marked his return with a victory.
Ghana scored first through a well-worked goal from Kudus but the goal was cancelled out by Zimbabwe via the spot.
Thomas Partey restored Ghana’s lead with a solo effort that ended with a drive to the bottom corner of the Zimbabwean goal post.
Andre Ayew rose above his markers to head home the third goal to seal victory for the Black Stars in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
On social media, some football fans have applauded the team for chalking victory over Zimbabwe.
Coach Milovan Rajevac also enjoyed some praise for improving the overall display of the Black Stars. There were also trolls for former Black Stars coach, CK Akonnor.
Ghana will travel to Zimbabwe for the return fixture on Tuesday.

In just 15 minutes Milo has performed better with the Black Stars than CK Akonnor did in over a year.

That first half experiment of playing Partey and Dede as pivots really limited Thomas Partey. Good that Milo read it and switched things up.

Those who were furious because there was shortage of Milo at the Partey should come back and apologize. The Partey is banging now ????????

The black stars are back with Tactical Milo. Kudus and Thomas Partey bossing the midfield Dede Ayew back on form defense and Attack solid without Jordan Ayew. Give us the Afcon and World Cup already.

Well done to the Black Stars and Milo. Seen all I need to see for this game. The right tweaks were made after ???????? drew level. Changes impacted the game positively. More importantly they didn’t look frazzled at key moments. I’ll take that as progress. For now..

FT: Ghana ???????? 3-1 ???????? Zimbabwe
Flattering score for a difficult, grinding win. 2nd half showed how much work to be done.
Milo’s subs spot on. But we need to talk about Andre and how best to use him. Ben Tetteh promising, Iddrisu impactful.
Next: Zimbabwe again on Tue.

Black Stars might not thank me, but get the contract out, put it on the table, let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there given what he’s done and let him sign the contract and go, Milo’s at the wheel, man he’s doing his thing. Black Stars are back! pic.twitter.com/uExjqJ2Dlp
