Wakaso pockets $700 for man-of-the-match award in South Africa friendly

Mubarak Wakaso was adjudged man-of-the-match in Ghana’s 1-1 draw with South Africa on Tuesday in an international friendly.

He was awarded 10,000 Rands (US$700) from sponsor Castle Larger.

The Panathinaikos man shot the Black Stars into the lead from the spot after Harrison Afful was brought down inside the box.

He was assertive in the middle of the park with his runs, calibration of passes and scything into tackles.
