Kirin Cup 2022: Nine-Man Ghana defeats Chile on penalties to secure a third-place finish 

Ghana defeated Chile by 3-1 on penalties on Tuesday during their second match at the 2022 Kirin Cup as the game ended 0-0 after 90 minutes. 

The Black Stars ended the game with nine players on the pitch as Alidu Seidu (67th) and Mubarak Wakaso (78th) were sent off.

Jordan Ayew, Kudus Mohammed and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku scored for Ghana during the penalty shootout but it was Manaf who proved the hero of the day for the team of Otto Addo pulling two saves – something not seen for a long while by a Black Stars goalkeeper.

Ghana thus finishes third in the tournament after losing 4-1 to Japan in their tournament opener.
