During the post‑goal celebration, Yirenkyi’s shirt was torn, prompting the 20‑year‑old striker to be sent off the pitch by the referee to change. "I was very happy. We have one goal, and we’ll do our best," Yirenkyi said after the match, while Ghana star Antoine Semenyo described the emotions as "incredible." Ghana will face England in their next group game on 23 June.
