Black Stars midfielder Mubarak Wakaso has thanked his teammates and fans after picking up the Man of the Match award in the 2-0 win over Guinea-Bissau on Tuesday.

Second half strikes from Jordan Ayew and Thomas Partey secured Ghana a place in the knockout stage of the Africa Cup of Nations.

“First of all I need to thank my teammates, the whole Ghana and my fans for the support and prayers,” Wakaso told reporters after receiving the award.

The result sees Ghana top Group F on goal difference ahead of Cameroon who played out a barren draw with Benin another simultaneous kick-off in Ismailia.

Ghana will now face the runners-up of Group E while Cameroon takes on Nigeria in a mouthwatering last 16 encounter.
