Daniel Afriyie Barnieh was singled out for praise on social media following his impressive display on his full debut for Black Stars in a 2-0 win over Switzerland on Thursday.
The Hearts of Oak star was handed a surprise start by coach Otto Addo in the pre-World Cup friendly and he did not disappoint as he justified his inclusion in Ghana’s squad for the global showpiece.
The 21 year old was at the centre of Ghana’s brightest moments in the first half as he alternated with Jordan Ayew between the right and left flank of attack.
He had a penalty appeal turned down in the 24th minute when he was brought down in the box, but the referee waved play on.
Replays showed that he was unlucky not have the decision go his way as he was clearly tripped by the Swiss defender.
Barnieh was thoroughly impressive, and some Ghanaian fans sung his praises on Twitter. He was replaced on the hour mark by Kamal Sowah.
Below are some of the reactions;
