Ayew’s comeback comes after Ghana’s disappointing performance in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where they were eliminated in the group stage.

Entering the game as a substitute in the 70th minute with his team trailing 2-1, Ayew made an immediate impact. In the 85th minute, he leveled the score for Le Havre with a well-executed header from a free kick.
Despite Ayew’s efforts, Lorient took the lead again in the 91st minute with a goal from Mohamed Bamba. However, Ayew wasn’t done yet. In the fourth minute of added time, he scored a remarkable goal from an overhead kick, securing a 3-3 draw for his team.
These goals marked Ayew’s first for Le Havre in five games since joining them a few weeks before the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. His performance demonstrated his resilience and skill, providing a positive highlight after the disappointment of Ghana’s early exit from the continental tournament.
