Prior to the Cape Verde match, a video surfaced in which Reverend Kore was purported to have predicted the scoreline of the game.
He also predicted defeat for the Black Stars in their remaining games against Egypt and Mozambique, adding that Kudus, who missed the Cape Verde game, was not going to perform well against Egypt.
Kudus scores two goals against Egypt
As if to prove Pastor Kore wrong, Kudus scored Ghana’s two goals in the 2-2 draw with Egypt. He opened the scores with a powerful strike during first half injury time.
Omar Marmoush equalized for the Pharaohs in the 69th minute, but Kudus struck again two minutes later before Mostafa Mohammed equalized in the 74th minute.
The West Ham star’s impressive performance won him the Man of the Match award and was nothing abysmal as the prophet had predicted.
After the game, the video of Pastor Kore’s prophecy about Kudus resurfaced online, with many Ghanaians bashing him.
