Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has been congratulated by his alma mater, Seven Great Princes Academy, for scoring his first goal in the ongoing AFCON 2013 when Ghana recorded a 3-0 defeat against Niger. Gyan opened the match by scoring against Niger in the sixth minute, and although Niger had a goal disallowed for an infringement four minutes later they were not a threat for most of the game. The Stars doubled their lead with a goal from Christian Atsu after 23 minutes and put the game beyond Niger's grasp when John Boye pounced on a mistake by goalkeeper Kassaly Daouda to make it 3-0. Ghana will meet Cape Verde in the quarterfinals of the Africa Cup of Nations after qualifying for the last eight. Meanwhile, Seven Great Princes Academy will embark on an honoring game from Wednesday to Saturday at the Kaneshie Sports Complex as well as the school’s Dansoman Campus. The sporting activities will include table tennis, basketball, football, athletics, fill in the bottle, sack race, musical chairs, and tug of peace, all for both boys and girls. In an interview with JOY Sports, school proprietor Raphael Brown congratulated Gyan and expressed confidence that his academy would produce more sporting greats to serve mother Ghana as the striker has.
