Brazil yet again posted a 1:0 win over Ghana on Tuesday night, however it was the more impressive Ghanaians who won the hearts of football fans.
The only goal of the game came off the boot of unmarked Vagner Love, who finished off a corner effected by Ronaldinho in the 18th minute.
The scrappy win for the Brazilians once more rekindled the ever growing hope among Black Stars followers that come another opportunity, the Stars will outshine the South American and world soccer powerhouse.
But for a yet-to-be-fixed blunt attack, the Ghanaians could have registered a better result. However it appears the team will have to make do with the perennial problem for some time to come.
The Black Stars missed an opportunity to jump into the lead in the 14th minute after midfielder Eric Addo’s goal bound header was fisted off the goal line by the Brazilian goalie.
The Stars were forced to make an early substitution as striker Asamoah Gyan, failed to continue with the game in the 10th minute after aggravating an injury he carried into the match.
Alex Tachie-Mensah took his place and six minutes later he raced deep into the Brazilian goal area after a long pass but just failed to make contact for an equalizer.
29 minutes into the game and the Stars defensive pillar and skipper, John Mensah nearly gifted Brazil a second goal as he carelessly lost the ball in front of his goal, however Kaka failed to exploit the chance as he blasted wide.
The Black Stars were at this stage losing possessions at ease, with Brazil content to make passing runs and intermittent goal attempts.
The Black Stars slightly dominated play to the end of the break, but the Brazilians appeared comfortable with the blunted attack, responding to the threats with hard tackles particularly on Sulley Muntari, Eric Addo and Haminu Dramani.
