Jonas Adjetey described his first international goal as an “amazing” moment after helping Ghana beat Somalia 2–0 in Thursday’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The Wolfsburg defender opened the scoring shortly before half-time at Sekondi Sports Stadium as the Black Stars secured their first clean sheet in four matches.
Adjetey said he had been waiting for his first Ghana goal and credited his teammates’ encouragement with helping him find the net.
“It feels amazing, I’ve been waiting for this moment for some time now, and then I had the support from my teammates, and the rest, they pushed me a little bit, which made it a little bit easier for me to get the score, so I’m really, really excited to get it for the national team,” he said.
Adjetey said Ghana had worked together to address the problems from their previous games and urged his teammates to build on the performance.
“We just need to support each other and we’ll get there,” he said.
The Black Stars face Somalia again on Monday, and Adjetey said the team would aim to produce another strong performance and secure a second win.
