The goal came at a time when several Ghanaians had given up and were at least hoping for a goalless draw.
Couple reunite after Ghana win
Making a submission in Parliament, the Hohoe legislator indicated that he mounted some giant screens in some locations within his constituency so the constituents can watch the World Cup.
He added that due to football's uniting nature, people in Alavanyo and Nkonya watched the match together.
Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo added that a couple who had been divorced for four years hugged each other during the jubilation and had 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.
