#Asamoah Gyan

Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has criticized the Black Stars' performance following their 1-0 defeat to Colombia in the FIFA World Cup, stating that Colombia deserved the win due to Ghana's lackluster display.

Morocco midfielder Ismael Saibari became the first African player to score three goals in a single World Cup since Ghana's Asamoah Gyan in 2010. This achievement occurred during Morocco's 4-2 victory over Haiti at Atlanta Stadium in the 2026 World Cup. Saibari, aged 25, has now scored three goals in the tournament.
