The decisive strike came at a time when several Ghanaians had given up and were at least hoping for a goalless draw.
Couple reportedly reunite after Ghana's World Cup win
Submitting to Parliament, Worlanyo Tsekpo indicated that he mounted giant screens in some locations within his constituency for World Cup viewing.
The Hohoe legislator added that due to football's uniting nature, people in Alavanyo and Nkonya had watched the match together.
Worlanyo Tsekpo also claimed that a couple who had been divorced for four years hugged each other during the jubilation and reunited.
"A man who divorced his wife four years ago hugged his ex-wife at a viewing centre, and this morning we’re told the woman was found sweeping the ex-husband’s house. This is what the match has done for our country," he added.
