The Crystal Palace star got his first goal by converting a penalty in the 6th minute.

Five minutes after Jordan's goal, CAR equalised through Louis Mafouta and took the lead in the 40th minute through Mafouta.

But just like the last game in Mali, Jordan was on hand to rescue the Black Stars as he equalised in the 60th minute, heading home a well-weighted Gideon Mensah cross.

Jordan added his third and Ghana's fourth in the 68th minute to make it 4-2 after Issahaku Fatawu had given the Black Stars the lead in the 62nd. He scrambled home from close range after the CAR goalkeeper spilled a shot and caused a goal-mouth melee.

Despite a late rally by CAR which resulted in a freekick goal in the 90th minute to complete a hat-trick for Mafouta, the Black Stars held on for a 4-3 win to go top of the group with nine points.
