Prior to the World Cup, Ghana played their final friendly match, with the two brothers starting.
Jordan and Andrew Ayew’s performances against Switzerland in a friendly match on Thursday were not well received by the crowd.
Both stars got off to a good start, but in the 62nd, coach Otto Addo substituted Antoine Semenyo for Jordan.
Semenyo went on to score the second goal for the Black Stars in the 74th minute, becoming the first player in history to score for his country. Along with Daniel Barnieh of Hearts of Oaks, who was given his first senior start for the Black Stars, the Bristol City forward received acclaim from supporters for this accomplishment.
But the Ayew brothers’ performance was what really infuriated fans on Twitter. Inaki Williams also drew flak for giving in too easily to Swiss players’ challenges.

Don’t start Ayew
Otto Addo should never start J. Ayew. – @Only_regiss

Be strong, Inaki
Jordan is doing well, however, he should release the ball on time. Daniel Afriyie Bannieh is excellent. Tariq Lamptey is one brilliant guy today.
Inaki Williams should be an African, not a Spanish. He gives up too easily and falls frequently. He should be strong. – @taadibanyinbagh

Did nothing
Apart from that set piece, Jordan did nothing, and the team got better when he came off. – @banslovesmom

Set pieces
Jordan Ayew shouldn’t be near the set pieces, please…. we as a nation beg you. Apart from that, everything set we will win the World Cup. – @Mb3l3s3m

Bench Ayews
Nice improvement but, Ayew brothers on the bench onwards. – @Focus_PY

Room for improvement
Great game to watch, but there’s still much more room for improvement. Bench Jordan and I think Inaki shouldn’t lead our lines, he falls so frequently.
Consider Barnieh, he was so composed and confident in the game. – @DanielKodie1

Go for serious guys
Jordan Ayew and his brother were all the cause we did not make the first half good for us. Now we need to start Jordan from the bench and go in for the serious guys.
I think you all saw everything. Don’t like us talk too much, let’s make everything simple for us. – @dread_winner

Options Available
The centre-back partnership, and so many options for Otto Addo. In central attacking midfield, Semenyo’s effort shouldn’t be overlooked.
Inaki Williams should get himself involved always and finally, Kamaldeen [Sulemana] should bench Jordan in every single match. – @yawbryte_

Jordan Ayew vs Kyereh
Andre Ayew should start from the bench, replace him with Kyereh. The midfield should be Kofi Kyereh, Salis Samed, and Partey. Mohammed Kudus and Inaki upfront. – @AnodeyCare

Send Partey back
You don’t need Partey, send him back to Arsenal for us, God bless. – @Richagi_
