Ghana star Andre Ayew was left keyed up after he helped Marseille produced a �good day for a football miracle� at Borussia Dortmund in the Uefa Champions League final group game on Wednesday night.
The sensational midfielder inspired the struggling French giants with a sublime goal after he nodded in from a Morgan Amalfitano corner to cancel their two goal deficit in a highly explosive game at Westfalenstadion.
Substitute Mathieu Valbuena scored the winner with three minutes left to send Marseille through to the knockout phase of Europe elite inter-club competition.
�It�s a match that will live long in the memory, and even longer if we can continue through to the quarter-finals,� Ayew said to the Uefa website.
�We were very happy when the third goal went in, but the match wasn�t finished yet. We�d come a long way, but we owed it to ourselves to put in a huge defensive effort to keep our lead and go through.�
The 21-year-old also praised the mentality of his team-mates.
�It was very pleasing and it proved that we�re men that we�re determined and never give up. At 2-1, we knew we still had a chance. We didn�t give up and we showed that the game isn�t over until the referee blows his whistle.�
