Asamoah Gyan has dedicated his two goals for Al Ain against Al �Shabab on Thursday to the memory of his late mother, Mrs Cecilia Gyan. Mrs Gyan died through a motor accident in Accra on Tuesday and despite the loss, the Ghana captain turned out for his club side and scored twice as they triumphed over Al-Shabab 3-2. The 26-year-old says the only way he can show appreciation to his late mother is to dedicate the two goals to the woman who meant everything to him. �It�s painful loss but God knows best. I dedicate the two goals I scored to my late mother,� Gyan said �She meant everything to me and she cannot be replaced. Many people have shown me love and I appreciate it very much. �The flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo Addo called me and I really appreciate it. �I can understand that President John Mahama is busy with lots of work, but I am expecting his call. �I am mentally strong and so I believe I will pull through. I want to thank all Ghanaians for the massive show of love and support during these difficult times. Gyan mother would have turned 61 today. He has been excused from Tuesday�s international friendly against Cape Verde in Lisbon, Portugal.
