Southampton defender Salisu Mohammed, on Monday Thursday, grabbed his debut goal for Black Stars as Ghana beat Switzerland by 2-0 in their pre world cup Friendly at UAE.
The Sabon-zongo born headed the Black Stars into the lead in the second half before Antoine Semenya grabbed the second goal for the team.
The 23-year-old center-back commanded a starting berth for Coach Otto Addo’s side on Thursday in their final preparation for the Mundial at the Zayad Sports Complex in Abu Dhabi.
He was just making his third outing for Ghana, after playing in the friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua.
After a barren first half, it was Salisu Mohammed broke the deadlock in the 69th minute as he got on the end of a Kamal Sowah flick to calmy head home.
Kyereh’s corner kick found Sowah whose flick located Salisu and the Southampton man made no mistake as he headed home from close range to give Ghana a 1-0 lead.
The Black Stars got rewarded again in the 74th minute – this time through Antione Semenyo who connected a rebound to register his first international goal for Ghana. Kamal Deen Sulemana started the buildup with his electric down the left-side. He went pass his marker before hitting home from a half volley to give Ghana a 2-0 cushioning.
Salisu Mohammed was later substituted for Joseph Aidoo as the team ended its preparation for Qatar on high notes.
