Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo expressed his excitement after providing the crucial assist for the winning goal that secured Ghana\u2019s qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 23-year-old came off the bench and set up Ernest Nuamah for the decisive goal in Kumasi, helping the Black Stars come from behind to secure their spot in the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a good game, tough game and the pitch was not so good and the opposition surprised us, they were really good and of course, I am happy to say I came off to provide the assist for the winner,\u201d he told AFCB TV ahead of the game against Stoke City in the EFL Cup.<\/p>\n

In the same AFCON qualification, Semenyo had played a crucial role by getting Ghana a vital win in Kumasi when he climbed off the bench to score a late winner against Angola in Chris Hughton\u2019s first game as Black Stars coach.<\/p>\n

After making his debut under Otto Addo in June 2022, Semenyo has established himself as an important player for the four-time African champions and is expected to join the team in subsequent matches as the 2023 AFCON and approaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s [the AFCON] going to be tough but I am ready to embrace that challenge,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
