In characteristic fashion, the winger moved majestically and dummied before slotting the ball home, leaving the Mozambican goalkeeper rooted to his spot.

Later in the second half, Jordan added a second in the 70th minute, also from a spotkick. The Black Stars had been awarded a second penalty after Mozambique's Renildo blocked Mohammed Kudus' shot with his hand in the 18-yard box.

Geny Camato converted a penalty in the first minute of injury time (90+1) after Ghana's captain, Dede Ayew, handled the ball in the penalty area.

Moments later, Renildo redeemed himself by heading in from a corner to atone for the penalty he had earlier caused.
