"Two over two. still in the race .. we will keep going ! Thanks for your support and prayers," he wrote on Twitter.

Four thousand fans were allowed to watch the Ghana and Zimbabwe game in Cape Coast.

Andre Ayew scored the third goal in the 3-1 win at Cape Coast but started from the bench in the 1-0 win in Harare.

The 31-year-old is hoping to lead the country to Qatar in 2022 for the World Cup.

The winner of Group G will then progress to the play-offs with a place in Qatar 2022 at stake.

Andre Ayew plays in Qatar for Al Sadd, where he has been in prolific form for the club, netting four goals in five matches.

His goal against Zimbabwe makes it five goals in seven matches this season.

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that, Ghana Football Association President, Kurt Edwin Simeon Okraku, has lauded the Black Stars team for their incredible show of discipline during the World Cup qualifiers.

The head of Ghana's football was fascinated by the unity of purpose in camp as the West African powerhouse chased one of the tickets to next year's World Cup.

In an interview with Tv3, Kurt Okraku believes the Black Stars players and the technical team are poised to return to the global stage.
