Unfortunately for the Black Stars, their journey at the tournament came to an end after a disastrous collapse against Mozambique in the final Group B game.
Kudus, who was substituted moments before the fall, watched from the bench as Mozambique scored two late goals to hold the four-time African champions.

The 23-year-old disclosed that despite it being a poor tournament for Ghana, his brace against Egypt remains the most remarkable moment for him at the competition.
"Two bangers against Egypt," he responded when asked by CAF about the tournament.
The talented midfielder has however sparked reactions of being on the podium for the Best African Player of the Year award with his superlative performances for the Hammers.
