The Black Stars put in a spirited performance to hold England, one of the pre-tournament favourites, to a 0-0 draw.
Carlos Queiroz's side, who were widely regarded as underdogs, executed a disciplined defensive game plan that frustrated England throughout the ninety minutes.
Despite England enjoying as much as 80 per cent of possession, they failed to create enough clear-cut chances, with Kane largely ineffective for most of the encounter.
The result leaves both teams on four points in Group L, with the Black Stars in a strong position to reach the World Cup knockout rounds for the first time since their famous 2010 quarterfinal run.
Before the game, Kwaku Bonsam had been widely attributed with a promise to use his spiritual powers to neutralise Kane.
Speaking to the Daily Star, he said:
"I am working on Harry Kane. I have shown what I am capable of before so I know what work I must do to stop him. I am not wishing him serious injury. It will be just enough to stop him against my country. I will do my work so that it can help Ghana."

A popular football influencer known as Trey tweeted "Bro wasn't lying" alongside an image of Kane skying his effort over the bar, a post that quickly went viral as fans rushed to the comments to discuss Kweku Bonsam's pre-match claims.

"Can't he do this voodoo for Ghana to win the World Cup or does it only work by stopping a player?"

Yaa Bonsam graduates as best science student
According to an earlier report by YEN.com.gh, Kwaku Bonsam's daughter, Yaa Bonsam, completed St. Louis Senior High School as the best science student in her year group.
The achievement marked a remarkable chapter for the young woman, who had attracted widespread public attention as a child due to repeated mysterious disappearances that her father attributed to supernatural forces.
She is reportedly hoping to further her education at either the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology or the University of Ghana, Legon.
