However, Lorient regained the lead again in injury time through Mohamed Bamba. It looked like Le Havre would suffer a defeat, but Ayew had other ideas, as he showed his predatory instincts to smash a loose header in the box via an incredible bicycle kick. The goal sparked wild celebrations among the Le Havre players and fans, who hailed Ayew as their hero.

Ayew's heroics silenced his detractors, who had questioned his commitment and form after Ghana's disappointing exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. The Black Stars captain had conceded a penalty in the dying minutes of their final group game against Mozambique, which resulted in a 2-2 draw and eliminated Ghana from the tournament.
