<p>The National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate made the comment in the aftermath of Ghana’s entertainment 2-2 draw with the Pharaohs.</p>

<p>In a Facebook post, Mahama described Mohammed Kudus as a “boy wonder” and said it was a great game.</p>

<p><em>“Boy wonder, Kudus. Great game! We gave away two free goals!”</em> the former President wrote on his verified page.</p>

<p>The Black Stars had a good chance to move to the top of Group B but were undone by defensive blunders against the Pharaohs.</p>

<p>Kudus seemed destined to give Ghana all three points after passing a late fitness test to be named in the starting line-up.</p>

<p>But despite scoring a double, the West Ham star’s efforts were not enough as Egypt twice came back from a goal down to salvage a draw, thanks to goals from Omar Marmoush and Mostafa Mohamed.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, striker Antoine Semenyo has also praised the performance of Kudus, describing him as one of the best players in the world.</p>

<p><em>“He [Kudus] is one of our best players. He is the star boy. He gets on the ball, creates stuff, and scores goals like he did today. It was a great addition to have him</em>,” the Ghana striker said.</p>
