In both matches, he made important saves and remained calm under pressure, helping the Black Stars to avoid defeat.

His performances are believed to have made him one of Ghana's standout players at the World Cup.

Many football fans have praised him for his confidence, quick reactions and ability to make big saves when his team needed him most.

With the Ghana Black Stars still having one match to play in the Group L stage, Benjamin Asare has the chance of earning even more money if he continues to keep clean sheets.

Meanwhile, the goalkeeper is yet to react to the award from Kevin Taylor.

Fans of Benjamin Asare have flooded social media to share their mixed opinions.
