Jordan Ayew scored as Ghana beat Guinea-Bissau 2-0 to move into the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Black Stars went ahead when Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew opened the scoring through a right-foot shot from the inside of the box.

Atlético Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey then doubled the scoring to ensure the qualification of the four-time title holders for the last 16. The Black stars will face who come second in Group E, which include Tunisia, Mali, Mauritania, and Angola, on Monday, July 8 at Ismailia stadium.

This win put Ghana top of Group E, while holders Cameroon came in the second spot. Guinea-Bissau's Djurtus hit Black Stars' bar three times during the game.
