Ghana thrashes Sudan 2-0
Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot
The Black Stars of Ghana is an undoubtedly the best football
team in Africa and beyond as most teams in Africa are struggling
to qualify for both the CAN 2010 and FIFA World Cup Tournaments
in Angola and South Africa respectively, the Stars moved yet
another step towards the FIFA World Cup tournament in South
Africa with a 2-0 win over their Sudanese counterparts.
This is the Stars' third consecutive win after lashing Mali 2-0
two weeks ago.
The Ghanaian boys currently have their maximum points from three
matches so far and are expected to push even further with
another victory when they meet Sudan on home soil September 5,
2009.
A spectacular Matthew Amoah strike ended the Sudanese resistance
in the 4th minute which defined the opener for the Stars at the
Al Merreikh Stadium in Omdurman.
The Stars began the second half of the game with the mantra
“Forward ever backwards never” which led them to score another
goal by the same Mathew Amoah.
A clearly-rattled Sudan had little to do as their back-four
looked nervous whenever the ball came near them immediately
afterwards.
The Ghanaians coach introduced Manuel Agogo, Haminu Dramani and
Isaac Vorsah to add more on the Desert Hawks of Sudan who were
at time proving to be stubborn.
The three players introduced brought fresh blood to overcome the
Sudan boys who were dejected and resort to chasing their own
shadows.
The Black Stars, which missed the services of their dependable
skipper Stephen Appiah, Sulley Muntari, Asamoah Gyan, Laryea
Kingston and left-back John Pantsil, who is suspended due to two
yellows.

Mensah, Eric Addo, Isaac Vorsah, Micheal Essien, Mousa Narry,
