South Korea and Ghana faced each other on Monday in the second day of Group H matches at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The Africans won the match after a vibrant game that ended 3-2.

Ghana's advantage was evident in the start of the game. In the 24th minute, Mohammed Salisu took advantage of a series of deflections in the box to open the scoring.

Ten minutes later, Mohammed Kudus, one of the game's star performers, took advantage of a pinpoint cross to extend Ghana's lead with a superb header.

Despite going into the halftime break with a losing score, South Korea managed to tie the game just minutes into the second half, with both goals coming from Cho Gue-Sung.

However, the Ghanaian team fought back after the equalizer, and it was Kudus again who popped up on a counter-attack to score what would be the game-winning goal.

With this result, the Ghanaian national team has earned its first three points and remains alive in Group H. Its third match will be played against Uruguay. South Korea, on the other hand, is left with just one point for the tournament and will be looking for a miracle in its final group stage match against Portugal .
