West Ham forward Ayew gives Ghana win over Uganda

West Ham United forward Andre Ayew scored from the penalty spot as Ghana defeated Uganda 1-0 in their Africa Cup Of Nations Group D opener in Port Gentil, Gabon.

The Black Stars were awarded a penalty when Isaac Isinde fouled Asamoah Gyan in the box in the 32nd minute of the game, which Ayew duly converted.

In the other group game, Egypt and Mali played out a goalless draw.

Ghana will play Mali in their next group game on Saturday.
