The final day of the French Ligue 1 brought a mixture of emotions for some of Ghana’s players named in Kwesi Appiah’s 26-man provisonal squad for the World Cup in Brazil.

Marseille’s Andre Ayew rounded up his season with a goal for his club at home at the Stade Velodrome against Guingamp.

The midfielder headed in his sixth goal of the season after connecting a Mathieu Valbuena cross from the left to give his team three points on the last day of the season but the victory was not enough to give Les Phoceens a European place as Nice lost to Lyon by a similar scoreline.

Marseille ended the season in sixth place with 60 points.

Andre Ayew’s younger brother, Jordan, had to deal with a larger slice of disappointment as his Sochaux side were beaten 3-0 at home by Evian Thonon Gaillard who had another Ghanaian, Jonathan Mensah, playing at left back.
