Veteran Ghanaian defender Ibrahim Ayew played a pivotal role as Lincoln Red Imps FC clinched their record-extending 29th Gibraltar Football League title with a composed 2-0 victory over Manchester 62.

On a night of celebration and dominance, Ayew, a former Ghana international, marshaled the midfield with his trademark discipline, helping the Imps secure a fifth consecutive league title—an incredible streak dating back to 2019. With the team under pressure at times, Ayew’s calm presence and leadership were crucial in maintaining defensive stability, resulting in a fifth consecutive clean sheet in the Championship Group.

Spanish forward Kike delivered the goals with a brace, but the defensive backbone—anchored by Ayew alongside Jesus Toscano and Bernardo Lopes—was equally influential in stifling Manchester 62’s attacking efforts.

Ayew’s performance this season has been a masterclass in consistency and leadership. With 29 appearances across all competitions, the 35-year-old has become a key figure for Gibraltar’s most decorated club, adding another chapter to his globe-trotting football journey that includes stints in Ghana, Egypt, Europe, and appearances for the Black Stars.

The latest triumph is not just a team victory, but also a testament to Ayew’s enduring quality and influence at the highest level in Gibraltar.
